Atmospheric Dynamics

2014
This chapter reviews the basic dynamic, thermodynamic, and water-continuity relationships required to read the literature on cloud dynamics. The force balances and instabilities that affect clouds are reviewed. The primitive equations are presented and their Boussinesq and anelastic forms are presented.

On the dynamics of Jupiter's atmosphere

Vistas in Astronomy, 1981
Abstract Observations of the atmosphere of Jupiter by the imaging and infrared instruments on the Voyager spacecraft have been analysed to provide new insight into the meteorology of Jupiter. Like the Earth, the atmosphere of Jupiter appears to behave in a quasi-geostrophic manner.

The Dynamics of the Atmosphere of Venus

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1975
Abstract The wide range of radiative time scales in the Venus atmosphere, together with observations of temperature structure and winds, indicate that the atmosphere contains two distinct regimes. In the deep atmosphere, at altitudes below 40 km, diurnal effects are negligible, motions are weak, and the lapse rate is near-adiabatic.

Dynamics of Triton's atmosphere

Nature, 1990
The recent Voyager encounter established certain facts about Triton's atmosphere: the surface pressure is in the range 1.5 – 1.9 Pa (15–19 μbar); the surface temperature is 38 ± 3K (ref. 2); molecular nitrogen is the dominant atmospheric constituent; hazes and clouds are visible not only on the limb but also against the surface; the wind in the ...

Atmospheric Dynamics and Meteorology

2009
Titan, after Venus, is the second example in the solar system of an atmosphere with a global cyclostrophic circulation, but in this case a circulation that has a strong seasonal modulation in the middle atmosphere. Direct measurement of Titan's winds, particularly observations tracking the Huygens probe at 10°S, indicate that the zonal winds are mostly

Jovian atmospheres—dynamics

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1990
Observations of the long‐term variations in the motions and morphology of the cloud systems in the atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have been hampered by terrestrial atmospheric effects, a limited range of accessible band passes, the necessity to sacrifice spectral resolution to achieve reasonable spatial resolution, and the inability

The atmospheric dynamics of deserts

2004
The Bedouin of the desert, born and grown up in it, had embraced with all his soul this nakedness too harsh for volunteers, for the reason, felt but inarticulate, that there he found himself indubitably free. He lost material ties, comforts, all superfluities and other complications to achieve a personal liberty which haunted starvation and death.

Atmospheric Circulation and Dynamics

2012
The deep atmosphere of Venus ( ∼ 180 km including the thermosphere) presents both observational and modeling challenges. Its thick, nearly uniform global cloud cover makes it difficult to fathom the vertical structure of the global circulation through available techniques that are applied to Earth’s atmosphere.
