苏梅克-列维9号彗星(SL9)与木星相撞后,在木星上观测到的以常速度(~450m/s)向外扩展的圆环意味着这是碰撞在木星大气中引起的线性波动.我们选取:非旋转、无粘性、密度分层、不可压缩的木星大气模型,而且木星大气以水平速度U=b az运动;给出初始扰动压力P(r;0)作为碰撞的初始条件,用流体力学方程组求解了彗木相撞中的惯性引力波.结果表明:当木星大气以速度U=U0(~170m/s)运动时,彗星碎片的大部分能量都用来产生内波,同时还得到彗星碎片的撞击深度H与水平相速Vp的关系式.当木星大气以速度为U=b az运动时,木星大气的扰动能量不再是在动能和势能间均分。 相似文献

Measurements by the Galileo probe in Jupiter's deep atmosphere support the possibility that the 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. This paper describes 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-axisymmetric geostrophic waves. An explicit analytical expression for the geostrophic waves is obtained as the leading-order solution 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. Implications of the theory for Jupiter and other planets are discussed. 相似文献

Measurements from the Galileo probe suggest that the zonal winds are deep rooted. Jupiter's high rotation rate makes it likely that the whole outer molecular H/He layer is involved in these long-lived jet flows. Assuming that the primary flows are geostrophic, and that the banded surface structure stretches right through the molecular H/He layer, we examine the conditions for such flows to be stable. As a first step, the linear stability of some prescribed banded zonal flows in a rotating spherical shell is explored. Incompressibility is assumed for simplicity, and the boundary condition is stress-free. We compare solutions for two aspect ratios, appropriate for the molecular H/He layers of Jupiter and Saturn, and two Ekman numbers (E=10−2 and E=10−4). Convective and shear flow instabilities compete in our system. The convective instabilities are of the well-known columnar structure. Shear flow instabilities for the larger Ekman number are similar to the Taylor-Couette instability in rotating annuli. At the lower Ekman number, shear flow instabilities adopt a geostrophic character, assuming the form of rotating columns, similar to the convective instabilities. While the convective instability always sets in outside the tangent cylinder, shear instability can become unstable inside the tangent cylinder. If even a weak zonal flow is present inside the tangent cylinder, the flow is unstable to shear instability. This offers an explanation why the jovian zonal jet structure is much weaker at the higher latitudes that correspond to locations inside the tangent cylinder. 相似文献

A dynamical model is presented for the observed strong zonal circulation within the stratosphere of Venus. The model neglects rotational effects and considers a compressible and radiating atmosphere. It is shown that diurnal radiative heating is negligible within the lower stratosphere, a region below 85km, while observational evidence for the strong zonal circulation pertains to the lower stratosphere within which a direct thermal driving for the circulation is absent. The analysis, however, suggests that propagating internal gravity waves generated by diurnal solar heating of the upper stratosphere induce mean zonal velocities within the upper and lower stratosphere.Considering the linearized equations of motion and energy, and following Stern's (1971) analysis for an analogous problem, it is shown that the zonal velocity induced by internal gravity waves is retrograde in direction, a result which is in agreement with observation. The nonlinear equations of motion and energy are then solved by an approximate analytical method to determine the magnitude of the zonal velocity. This velocity increases from zero at the tropopause to about 200 msec?1 at the 85 km level. The velocity near the uv-cloud level compares favorably with the observed value of 100 msec?1. 相似文献

A cloudy planetary atmosphere at rest is shown to be unstable to disturbances of large horizontal scale. The energy source for the instability is the change in radiative heat flux associated with vertical displacement near the emitting level. A simple model is described in which Q∞ δz, where Q is the net heating rate in the cloud and δz is vertical displacement. The constant of proportionality may be either positive or negative. Disturbances may take the form of either quasi-steady geostrophic motions or amplified inertia-gravity waves. The model is applied to Jupiter's zonal winds and to motions near the Venus cloud tops, and provides a possible explanation for many important features of these two flows. 相似文献

In the present work, the generation of large-scale zonal flows and magnetic field by short-scale collision-less electron skin depth order drift-Alfven turbulence in the ionosphere is investigated. The self-consistent system of two model nonlinear equations, describing the dynamics of wave structures with characteristic scales till to the skin value, is obtained. Evolution equations for the shear flows and the magnetic field is obtained by means of the averaging of model equations for the fast-high-frequency and small-scale fluctuations. It is shown that the large-scale disturbances of plasma motion and magnetic field are spontaneously generated by small-scale drift-Alfven wave turbulence through the nonlinear action of the stresses of Reynolds and Maxwell. Positive feedback in the system is achieved via modulation of the skin size drift-Alfven waves by the large-scale zonal flow and/or by the excited large-scale magnetic field. As a result, the propagation of small-scale wave packets in the ionospheric medium is accompanied by low-frequency, long-wave disturbances generated by parametric instability. Two regimes of this instability, resonance kinetic and hydrodynamic ones, are studied. The increments of the corresponding instabilities are also found. The conditions for the instability development and possibility of the generation of large-scale structures are determined. The nonlinear increment of this interaction substantially depends on the wave vector of Alfven pumping and on the characteristic scale of the generated zonal structures. This means that the instability pumps the energy of primarily small-scale Alfven waves into that of the large-scale zonal structures which is typical for an inverse turbulent cascade. The increment of energy pumping into the large-scale region noticeably depends also on the width of the pumping wave spectrum and with an increase of the width of the initial wave spectrum the instability can be suppressed. It is assumed that the investigated mechanism can refer directly to the generation of mean flow in the atmosphere of the rotating planets and the magnetized plasma. 相似文献

The GalileoJupiter atmospheric entry probe was launched along with the Galileoorbiter spacecraft from Cape Canaveral in Florida, USA, on October 18, 1989. Following a cruise of greater than six years, the probe arrived at Jupiter on December 7, 1995. During its 57-minute descent, instruments on the probe studied the atmospheric composition and structure, the clouds, lightning, and energy structure of the upper Jovian atmosphere. One of the two radio channels over which the experiment data was transmitted to the orbiter was driven by an ultrastable oscillator. All motions of the probe and orbiter, including the speed of probe descent, Jupiter's rotation, and the atmospheric winds, contributed to a Doppler shift of the probe radio frequency. By accurately measuring the frequency of the probe radio signal, an accurate time history of the probe–orbiter relative motions could be reconstructed. Knowledge of the nominal probe and orbiter trajectories allowed the nominal Doppler shift to be removed from the probe radio frequency leaving a measurable frequency residual arising primarily from the zonal winds in Jupiter's atmosphere, and micromotions of the probe arising from probe spin, swing under the parachute, atmospheric turbulence, and aerodynamic effects. Assuming that the zonal horizontal winds dominate the residual probe motion, a profile of frequency residuals was generated. Inversion of the frequency residuals resulted in the first in situ measurements of the vertical profile of Jupiter's deep zonal winds. It is found that beneath 700 mb, the winds are strong and prograde, rising rapidly to 170 m/s between 1 and 4 bars. Beneath 4 bars to 21 bars, the depth at which the link with the probe was lost, the winds remain constant and strong. When corrections for the high temperatures encountered by the probe are considered, there is no evidence of diminishing or strengthening of the zonal winds in the deepest regions explored by the Galileoprobe. Following the wind recovery, the frequency residuals offer tantalizing clues to microstructure in the atmospheric dynamics, including turbulence and wave motion. 相似文献

Despite several spacecraft encounters and numerous groundbased investigations, we still do not know much about Jupiter's deep atmosphere; in fact, the Galileo probe results were so different than anyone had anticipated, that we understand even less about this planet's atmosphere now than before the Galileo mission. We formulate four basic questions in Section 1.3, which, if solved, would help to better understand the chemistry and dynamics in Jupiter's atmosphere. We believe that three out of the four questions (explanation of NH3 altitude profile, characterization of hot spots, altitude below which the atmosphere is uniformly mixed) may be solved from passive sounding of Jupiter's deep (∼ tens of bars) atmosphere via a radio telescope orbiting the planet. Question nr. 4 (the water abundance in Jupiter's deep atmosphere) has been singled out by the Solar System Exploration Decadal Survey as a key question, since the water abundance in Jupiter's deep atmosphere is tied in with planet formation models. In this paper we investigate the sensitivity of microwave retrievals to the composition of Jupiter's deep atmosphere, in particular the water abundance. Based upon present uncertainties in the ammonia abundance and other known and unknown absorbers, including uncertainties in clouds (density and index of refraction), and uncertainties in the thermal structure and lineshape profiles, we conclude that the retrieval of water at depth from microwave spectra (disk-averaged and locally) will be highly uncertain. We show that, if the H2O lineshape profile would be accurately known (laboratory data are needed!), an atmosphere with a near-solar H2O abundance can likely be distinguished from one with an abundance of 10-20×solar O based upon the difference in their microwave spectra at wavelengths ?50 cm. This would be sufficient to distinguish between some proposed scenarios by which Jupiter acquired its inventory of volatile elements heavier than helium. If, in addition, limb-darkening measurements are obtained (again, the H2O lineshape profile should be known), tighter constraints on the H2O abundance can be obtained (see also Janssen et al., 2004, this issue). 相似文献

We have investigated the formation of jet scale meridional circulation cells on Jupiter in response to radiative and zonal momentum forcing. In the framework of semi-geostrophic theory, the meridional streamfunction is described by an elliptic equation with a source term dependent on the sum of the latitudinal derivative of the radiative forcing and the vertical derivative of the zonal momentum forcing. Using this equation with analytic terms similar to the assumed forcing on Jupiter, we obtained two set of atmospheric circulations cells, a stratospheric and a tropospheric one. A possible shift in the overturning circulation of the high and deep atmosphere can be induced by breaking the latitudinal alignment of radiative heating with the enforced belt and zones. A series of numerical simulations was conducted with the Jovian GCM OPUS, which was initiated with observational data obtained from the Cassini CIRS temperature cross-section and a corresponding geostrophic zonal wind field. Newtonian forcing of potential temperature as well as zonal momentum was applied respectively towards latitudinally and vertically uniform equilibrium fields. In accordance with the analytic illustrations two rows of jet scale circulation cells were created. The stratospheric circulation showed the distribution of upwelling over zones and downwelling over belts, consistent with cloud observations. The tropospheric cells featured a partial reversal of the downward vertical velocity over the belts and a considerable reduction of the upward movement over the zones in the domain, consistent with recent detections of high water clouds and lightning in belts. We also used the modeled new forcing fields as source terms for the semi-geostrophic Poisson equation to attribute the origin of the modeled secondary circulation. In this analysis, the stratospheric circulation cells observed in the model are primarily generated in response to radiative forcing, while momentum forcing induces the shifted configurations in the deep atmosphere. 相似文献

Hydromagnetic planetary waves propagating through a zonal flow and a transverse magnetic field both of which are sheared in the vertical direction are studied. It is found that the effect of the transverse magnetic field is to make planetary waves, which characteristically propagate westwards, propagate eastwards in both westerly and easterly zonal flows. It is also shown that at a critical level the rays are guided by the zonal flow only and that the waves are either attenuated or escalated by an exponential factor as they cross a critical level. 相似文献
