Juno Microwave Radiometer (MWR) observations of Jupiter's mid-latitudes reveal a strong correlation between brightness temperature contrasts and zonal winds, confirming that the banded structure extends throughout troposphere. However, microwave gradient is observed to change sign with depth: belts are microwave-bright in $p<5$ bar range microwave-dark $p>10$ range. The transition level (which ...

specific features of the structure of the ground litter invertebrate community in forest belt ecosystems in the ukrainian steppe zone have been considered. for 14 years invertebrate fauna of the litter of 176 forest belt sites with different composition has been studied with the aid of soil traps. the main characteristics of litter invertebrate communities (total population, a number of species...

Experimental results on the connection between meanE×B flows and coherent oscillations at the frequency of the geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) in the H-1 heliac are presented. An increase in the mean local radial electric field, Er , is correlated with the development of several coherent modes. As mean Er increases, spectral energy, which is mostly contained in coherent modes, grows. This is follo...

Introduction: Coronae are unique class of structures that were discovered during analysis of data from Venera-15/16 mission [1,2]. The defining element of coronae is their circular rim that consists of either ridges or grooves. In the images taken by Venera-15/16 (~1/4 of the surface of Venus), most of coronae appear to have ridged rim. After Magellan mission it became evident, however, that ri...

Increasing intensity of marine heatwaves has caused widespread mass coral bleaching events, threatening the integrity and functional diversity of coral reefs. Here we demonstrate the role of inter-ocean coupling in amplifying thermal stress on reefs in the poorly studied southeast Indian Ocean (SEIO), through a robust 215-year (1795-2010) geochemical coral proxy sea surface temperature (SST) re...

This paper considers a simple model in which dust produced in a planetesimal belt migrates in toward the star due to P-R drag suffering destructive collisions with other dust grains on the way. Assuming the dust is all of the same size, the resulting surface density distribution can be derived analytically and depends only on the parameter η0 = 5000τeff (r0) √ M /r0/β; this parameter can be det...

We consider the zonal mean circulation on an equatorial &plane and obtain analytic solutions for small-amplitude disturbances in response to sources of heat and momentum. The effect of dissipation is roughly approximated by using assumed constant drag and radiative damping terms. We apply the model to the tropospheric zonal winds, temperatures, and meridional circulation to give simple insights...

Three-dimensional numerical simulations of the atmospheric flow on giant planets using the primitive equations show that shallow thermal forcing confined to pressures near the cloud tops can produce deep zonal winds from the tropopause all the way down to the bottom of the atmosphere. These deep winds can attain speeds comparable to the zonal jet speeds within the shallow, forced layer; they ar...
