16 paź 2011 · In refs 6 and 18 the thermal wind equation is integrated in Saturn’s low-latitude stratosphere by assuming a null wind as the boundary condition around 20 mbar.
[2] [3] The stratosphere is composed of stratified temperature zones, with the warmer layers of air located higher (closer to outer space) and the cooler layers lower (closer to the planetary surface of the Earth).
19 mar 2010 · Winds in the stratosphere, above the 10-mbar level, seem to vary by ±75 m s −1 with altitude and time in a manner reminiscent of Earth’s quasibiennial oscillation (QBO) (4, 5). Saturn’s large differential rotation, which is larger than that of Jupiter, is still unexplained.
25 cze 2024 · Earth’s atmosphere has a layered structure. From the ground toward the sky, the layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Another layer, called the ionosphere, extends from the mesosphere to the exosphere. Beyond the exosphere is outer space.
14 lis 2012 · The lower layers of Saturn see higher temperatures and pressures. Water droplets are found here, mixed with ammonia. Saturn boasts some of the fastest winds in the solar system.
The quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO), dominant in the lower stratosphere, exhibits downward propagating layers of eastward and westward winds (and, from the thermal wind equation, associated warm and cold temperatures at the equator).
1 sie 2017 · Earth's tropical atmosphere features a quasi-biennial oscillation (the QBO, with an average 28-month period) in the stratosphere, whereby zones of alternating eastward and westward winds sink downwards with a well-defined period.
