Research finds Jupiter's polar region storms powered by Earth-like oceanic and atmospheric processes, aiding atmospheric understanding.

Research led by Lia Siegelman, a physical oceanographer at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, reveals that Jupiter's polar region storms are powered by processes similar to those on Earth's oceans and atmosphere. By studying NASA satellite images, it was found that Jupiter's cyclones are fueled by processes akin to those on Earth. These geophysical similarities could help improve our understanding of atmospheric processes on our own planet.
