3D anelastic simulations find that both convective zone Busse columns and weather-layer PV homogenization produce Jupiter-like jets, with the weather layer causing deviations in thermal wind balance and long-term high-latitude jet migration.

Superrotation and Jet Migration in Simulations of Jupiter's Convective Zone and Weather Layer
3D anelastic simulations find that both convective zone Busse columns and weather-layer PV homogenization produce Jupiter-like jets, with the weather layer causing deviations in thermal wind balance and long-term high-latitude jet migration.
