Scientific paper

We explore the consequences of assuming that the equatorial jet, which is the most prominent feature of the atmospheric motions on Jupiter, is driven by vertically propagating Kelvin and mixed Rossby-gravity waves that are absorbed during their passage through the stratosphere to produce a mean zonal flow. Since even the basic atmospheric parameters on Jupiter are still largely a matter of conjecture, we are not able to produce a unique model but one that can span a whole range of possible conditions and which can be refined (or rejected) as more information becomes available.
