Abstract: Abstract We evaluate a method for determining the depth of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot (GRS) with two Juno overflights dedicated to gravity science. The small-scale, localized nature of the anticyclone requires a detection method where… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Detailed observations of the velocities of Jovian vortices exist at only one height in the atmosphere, so their vertical structures are poorly understood. This motivates this study that computes stable three-dimensional, long-lived planetary vortices… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2024gl108993
Abstract: Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) is the largest and longest‐lived known vortex of all solar system planets but its lifetime is debated and its formation mechanism remains hidden. G. D. Cassini discovered in 1665 the… read more here.
