Abstract: Catch the wind The characteristic bands in Jupiter's atmosphere are produced by a global system of powerful winds of two basic types: broad eastward equatorial jets, and smaller-scale, higher latitude jets that flow in alternating directions. A new numerical model succeeds where previous models have failed in that it simultaneously generates both of the two dominant zonal wind patterns.
