Scientific paper

The atmospheric dynamics of neptune and uranus are investigated. Uranus, because of its pole on orientation and low internal heat source, is in a dynamically different atmospheric regime from Jupiter and Saturn. Neptune resembles Jupiter and Saturn in orientation and internal heating, but its extremely long radiative time constant puts Neptune in a different class. Voyager observations of seasonal temperature gradients, equator to pole temperature gradients, infrared emission, Bond albedo, possible cloud structures (bands, spots, eddies), and cloud motions can be used to improve the ability to classify planetary atmospheres according to their dynamical regimes.
