Scientific paper

A possible mechanism for the west-to-east motion of the equatorial belt of a planetary atmosphere is considered with reference to a theory of wavelike mass transfer. According to this mechanism, a traveling-wave process of the transition of the medium into another phase state, leading to a change in its density, causes mass transfer along the medium along the trajectory of the traveling wave. This mechanism is capable of explaining Voyager-2 data concerning atmospheric motions on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
