Scientific paper

A quasi-geostrophic midlatitude beta-plane linear model is here used to study whether the decay with height and meridional circulations of near-steady jets in the tropospheric circulation of Jupiter arise as a means of stabilizing a deep zonal flow that extends into the upper troposphere. The model results obtained are analogous to the stabilizing effect of meridional shear on baroclinic instabilities. In the second part of this work, a quasi-linear model is used to investigate how an initially barotropically unstable flow develops a quasi-steady shear zone in the lower scale heights of the model domain, due to the action of the eddy fluxes.
