A hydrodynamical model for the global motion structures observed in the Jupiter atmosphere is proposed which is based on the convective instability of zonal shear flow in a rotating spherical layer. Three heat transfer mechanisms are predicted for the convectively unstable zone located about 50 km below the visible cloud surface: small-scale convection in the equatorial zone, large-scale convective rolls in the mid-latitude region marked by a regular banded structure, and both large- and small-scale convection in the polar zone.
