木星两极上的深,密集,长寿的气旋
Deep, Closely-Packed, Long-Lived Cyclones on Jupiter's Poles
摘要:
朱诺号木星任务在木星的两极发现了密集的旋风。观察到这些气旋共存于非常狭窄的空间中,外缘几乎彼此接触,但没有合并,这构成了一个很大的谜团。在这项工作中,我们提出的数值计算表明,对流持续,密集的旋风可以形成和生存没有合并在极地地区的深旋转对流区(数千行星旋转周期)很长一段时间。通过对轴对称环流惯性稳定性判据的理想化应用,发现极附近的大科里奥利参数对气旋的紧密堆积起着至关重要的作用。
英文摘要:
Juno Mission to Jupiter has found closely-packed cyclones at the planet's two poles. The observation that these cyclones coexist in very confined space, with outer rims almost touching each other but without merging, poses a big puzzle. In this work, we present numerical calculations showing that convectively sustained, closely-packed cyclones can form and survive without merging for a very long time in polar region of a deep rotating convection zone (for thousands of planetary rotation periods). Through an idealized application of the inertial stability criterion for axisymmetric circulations, it is found that the large Coriolis parameter near the pole plays a crucial role in allowing the cyclones to be packed closely.
