Jupiter is famous for its great Red Spot. This place has existed for at least 300 years, since it was first seen by one of the first telescopes. This region of high pressure, often referred to as a storm, consists of clouds, whose peaks are higher and colder than the surrounding region.
Jupiter's Great Red Spot has in recent years. The appearance of Red Spot Jr. in 2005 and another small red spot in 2008, all in the same area, some to speculate that Jupiter is currently in climate change.
Climate change on Jupiter
The words "climate change" are big buzz words in the media present, usually referring to the change in the person of the earth, atmospheric composition. Climate change has natural sources, as well. Climate change was occurring on the planet since long before humans came. Climate change on Jupiter is in no way linked to what is currently occurring on Earth.
Complicated systems have atmospheric cycles. Jupiter appears to be entering a new round. One of the paradoxes of Jupiter's atmosphere is that the upper level clouds have the same temperature at the poles, because they at the equator. To ensure that the temperature in this way homogeneous in the cloud tops of giant Jupiter, a lot of mixing must go.
Dr. Philip S. Marcus, Ph.D., professor of fluid mechanics at the University of California at Berkeley, said: "If things are moving chaotically, they are really, really well to mix." He compares the gloomy atmosphere on a car that constantly push each other and energy.
Storms on the merge
In the 1930s, a few large vertebrate were born on Jupiter. These storms are decades until around 2000, they stopped repelling each other and matched. Marcus notes that "turbulence eddies come and go," but the question, why was not clearly defined. Marcus wrote a paper theorizing, what changes could cause it to the spinal forming decay. Marcus theory is that if the atmosphere of Jupiter heats up, effects begin to show how waves and eddies created by the instability. The changes should also be noted, from about 34 degrees south to north of the equator. Part of this theory of climate change also the idea that it might take some time before the effects can be seen.
Atmospheres not show direct evidence for climate change. Examples can be found on the earth. The winter solstice when the sun is lowest in the sky and daylight hours are few, marked the beginning of winter. Logically, it appears that the summer solstice will be at the heart of winter. In fact, it is the atmosphere for a while to respond and adapt to the change of inputs.
Marcus theory can begin to show how we see a rash of new spots will appear on Jupiter in the time frame and the situation as his forecasts.
