Measurements by the Galileo probe in the deep Jupiter's atmosphere support the possibility that mean zonal multiple-jet flows in Jupiter's atmosphere are deep rooted. As a consequence of Jupiter's high rotation rate, the primary dynamics of the zonal flows must be geostrophic, i.e. the dynamic balance is largely between the Coriolis and pressure forces. A new analytical theory for the generation of zonal multiple-jet flows on the basis of the nonlinear interaction of slowly traveling, nearly two-dimensional and non- axial-symmetric geostrophic waves is described. An explicit analytical expression for the geostrophic waves is obtained as leading-order solutions of the weakly nonlinear problem. In the high-order problem taking into account of nonlinear effects, an analytical expression for an alternating multiple-jet flow is derived.
