THERMAL convection on a global scale in the lower atmosphere of Jupiter redistributes angular momentum so as to produce a well defined westerly jet at high level astride the equator1-3, with a latitudinal width which can be accounted for in terms of quite elementary theoretical ideas1. Available observations are consistent with a similar phenomenon on Saturn1,4. On Earth, equatorial jets are found in the lower stratosphere and in the oceans.
