SUMMARY:Jets and turbulence in Jupiter's weather layer  - Dr. Roland Young
 \, Oxford University (Dept. of Physics)

DESCRIPTION:The processes that drive the giant planets' banded zonal jets 
 and their interactions with eddies over a wide range of scales have long b
 een topics of interest in planetary science\, as they help us to understan
 d some of the most spectacular natural phenomena in the Solar System. I wi
 ll present results from a general circulation model of Jupiter's weather l
 ayer that represents latent heat and moist convective processes on a globa
 l scale. The model uses the MITgcm as the dynamical core\, plus various ph
 ysical processes relevant to Jupiter. I will examine jet spin-up in a dry 
 atmosphere and how this is affected by an active water cycle that includes
  moist convection. Of particular interest is the model's energy cycle\, wh
 ich will be compared against a recent analysis of Jupiter's observed turbu
 lence.
