Stratified cloud formation in a Jovian atmosphere with two condensates
Abstract
A system of two equations describing the heat and humidity transfer in a planetary atmosphere is considered for the case of the two condensing components H2O and NH3. The opportunity of multilayer clouds formation in the Jovian atmosphere is examined. The vertical distributions of condensed water and ammonia were computed for some models.
