Abstract
The origin of the strong zonal (east–west) jets at cloud-top level in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn1 is something of a mystery2,3. Using an idealized two-dimensional, deep-turbulence model applied to a rapidly rotating planetary interior that is mixed by thermal convection, we are able to simulate the atmospheric multiple jets of these giant planets, and show that deep origins may explain one of their distinguishing features — the prograde (westerly) equatorial jets.
