Using oceanography to understand fronts and cyclones on Jupiter

New research led by Lia Siegelman, a physical oceanographer at UC San Diego s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, shows that the roiling storms at the planet Jupiter s polar regions are powered by processes known to physicists studying Earth s oceans and atmosphere.
