Scientific paper
Altering the rotation rate, obliquity and diurnal period of an Earth-like model atmosphere produces a wide range of circulation forms, some of which resemble those observed on Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and (perhaps) on Uranus and Neptune. These unified solutions suggest: that Jupiter and Saturn resemble a larger, faster-spinning Earth and possess a stress-bearing or momentum-exchanging sublayer; that easterly winds prevail in Uranus' summer hemisphere; and that Venus resembles a slowly rotating Earth if diurnal heating variations are included.
