Scientific paper
A linearized, nondivergent, barotropic vorticity model on a sphere is used to intercompare the fastest growing, barotropically unstable wave modes computed for zonal jets at high latitudes in the middle atmospheres of Venus, earth, and Mars. The model is briefly described, and the choice of a range of zonal jet parameters - primarily Rossby numbers and the jet width - appropriate to Venus and Mars is discussed. The results are presented and compared with those found by Elson (1982) and Hartmann (1983) for nondivergent, barotropically unstable modes in relatively broad, midlatitude zonal jets in planetary atmospheres. Some specific examples appropriate to Venus and Mars are presented.
