The meteorology of Jupiter and Saturn
Abstract
Analysis of Voyager 1 and 2 data has yielded data concerning zonal winds in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn. The degree of hemispheric symmetry and lack of correlation of high albedo regions with wind fields is discussed. A brief survey of models of physical mechanisms that drive the zonal winds is presented.
