Contributions of Jupiter's Deep‐Reaching Surface Winds to Magnetic Field Structure and Secular Variation
JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH: PLANETS
13 april 2024
Johannes Wicht, Ulrich R. Christensen

NASA's Juno mission delivered gravity data of exceptional quality. They indicate that the zonal winds, which rule the dynamics of Jupiter's cloud d...
