      A planetary-scale disturbance in a long living three vortex coupled system in Saturn's atmosphere 

      Del Río Gaztelurrutia, María Teresa; Sánchez Lavega, Agustín María ORCID; Antuñano Martín, Arrate ORCID; Legarreta Etxagibel, Jon Josu; García Melendo, Enrique José; Sayanagi, Kunio; Hueso Alonso, Ricardo ORCID; Wong, M.H.; Pérez Hoyos, Santiago ORCID; Rojas Palenzuela, José Félix ORCID; Simon, Amy; de Pater, Imke; Barry, Trevor (Elservier, 2017-12-22)
      The zonal wind profile of Saturn has a unique structure at 60°N with a double-peaked jet that reaches maximum zonal velocities close to 100 ms−1. In this region, a singular group of vortices consisting of a cyclone surrounded ...

(Springer Nature, 2023-10-19)
      The atmosphere of Jupiter has east–west zonal jets that alternate as a function of latitude as tracked by cloud motions at tropospheric levels. Above and below the cold tropopause at ~100 mbar, the equatorial atmosphere ...

      Latitudinal Variations in Methane Abundance, Aerosol Opacity and Aerosol Scattering Efficiency in Neptune's Atmosphere Determined From VLT/MUSE 

      Irwin, Patrick G.J.; Dobinson, Jack; James, Arjuna; Wong, Michael H.; Fletcher, Leigh N.; Roman, Michael T.; Teanby, Nicholas A.; Toledo, Daniel; Orton, Glenn S. ORCID; Pérez Hoyos, Santiago ORCID; Sánchez Lavega, Agustín María ORCID; Simon, Amy A.; Morales Juberías, Raúl; de Pater, Imke (Wiley, 2023-11)
      Spectral observations of Neptune made in 2019 with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile have been analyzed to determine the spatial variation of aerosol scattering ...
