内容記述 | Atmospheric superrotation is known to exist on Venus where the cloud cover, at 70 km above the surface, rotates about 60 times faster than the solid planet. Superrotation is strongly suspected on Titan on the basis of numerical studies and observations. The numerical simulation of superrotation is described. It is shown how the general circulation models, originally developed for terrestrial meteorology and climatology, can be used to infer the circulation in such atmospheres. The emphasis is on the case of Titan for which a specific general circulation model was developed. |
