The Oscillatory Motion of Jupiter's Polar Cyclones Results From Vorticity Dynamics

Abstract The polar cyclone at Jupiter's south pole and the five cyclones surrounding it oscillate in position and interact. These cyclones, observed since 2016 by NASA's Juno mission, present a unique opportunity to study vortex dynamics and interactions on long time scales. The cyclones&#...
