The goal of this project is to find the simplest atmospheric model that captures the essential physics of the dynamics of long-lived planetary features such as Jupiter's Great Red Spot and other coherent vortices, the Dark Spot of Neptune, the polar vortex of Saturn, and the Earth's Antarctic polar vortex. The philosophy is that a simple, but qualitatively correct model is the key to a good physical understanding of the mechanisms that govern planetary vortices, their wakes, and their waves.

这个项目的目标是找到最简单的大气模型 它捕捉了长寿生物的动态的基本物理学 木星的大红斑等行星特征 相干涡旋，海王星的暗斑， 土星和地球南极极涡。 哲学是 一个简单的，但定性正确的模型是一个好的关键， 对控制行星的机制的物理理解 漩涡，它们的尾流，和它们的波
