Scientific paper
A review of the atmospheric dynamics of the Outer Planets and some of their satellites is presented. A survey of observational data on atmospheric motions of the Jovian planets is presented and similarity parameters are given for all objects. General problems of atmospheric vertical structure are considered with special reference to Io and Ganymede. The 'soliton' hypothesis is discussed for circulation parameters observed on Jupiter's disk and it is noted that the bimodal rotation period found for Neptune may be interpreted as an indication of an equatorial jet with a relative velocity of about 140 m/sec.
