The major planets produce heat flux from their interiors that is comparable to the radiative flux they receive from the sun. The dynamics of convection flows carrying the heat flux are discussed, and the dominating effect of the Coriolis force is demonstrated. The characteristic high-velocity jets in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn can be explained on the basis of Reynolds stresses generated by the fluctuating convective motions. A simple annulus model, which elucidates the more complex mathematical analysis of the spherical case given in an earlier paper (Busse, 1983), is considered in detail. Various aspects of the observational evidence are discussed in relation to the model.
