Universal Vortical Singularity enlightenment on vortices of Jupiter
| Based
on hypothesis of Universal
Vortical Singularity, the phenomenon of cloud bands
on Jupiter are formed as a result of polar vortex pairs on different layers
of atmosphere at different altitudes have their vortex eyes opened up
to different latitudes in a torque-free
precession;
the atmospheres were compressed by those polar vortex pairs from the poles
towards the equator. This phenomenon of cloud bands are also found in
brown dwarf such as Gliese
229B, and other gaseous planets in solar system, such as Saturn,
Uranus
and Neptune.

Universal
Vortical Singularity predicts that cloud bands are formed by polar vortex pairs with vortex column opened to different extends.
Universal Vortical Singularity predicts that The Great Red Spot, ovals and other
storms are satellite vortices of polar vortices.

The
westerly white cloud band right on the equator is on a highest visible
cloud level that was formed as a result of polar vortices opened up to
tropical region till nearest the equator. This clearly visible white cloud
band overlay on all lower layers of wider cloud bands on higher latitudes.
The
effect of overlapping of wider cloud bands on lower altitude rendered
the phenomenon of symmetric cloud bands pairs
on both hemispheres at various latitudes, these are exposed cloud band
regions. There should be a vaguely visible razor-thin band right on equatorial
plane formed by higher layer atmosphere that were flattened by polar vortices
pair to a very thin disc, as a planetary ring.
The bottom of the planetary ring that is on the surface in a thin middle
region of the equatorial white cloud band rotates at a slower speed, this
would drag the middle region of the equatorial white cloud band. |

The rotating
equatorial white cloud band at region further away from the equator on a curved
planetary surface is gradually smaller in diameter therefore moves fastest by
the side, and dragged in a middle region by a higher altitude razor-thin cloud
band, these causes a phenomenon of those butterfly-shaped dragged patterns
on the westerly equatorial white cloud band, which were asymmetric anti-cyclonic
satellite vortices on both hemispheres that were being stretched. The vortex
column at bottom of the polar vortex that form this equatorial cloud band sank
below the surface of a lower atmosphere, this down draft effect is similar to
polar vortex on Earth that form a polar
jet stream in lower atmosphere just below its surface.
| A
thin region on two sides along the equator of the equatorial white cloud
band facing the poles drives chains of smaller anti-cyclonic satellite vortices.
These westerly polar jet streams on a lower altitude atmosphere drives another
chain of cyclonic vortices in two exposed higher altitude regions of both
hemispheres in the brown cloud bands. Those merged cyclonic vortices on
the lower atmosphere renders the phenomenon of cloud bands pair
that are rotating in opposite direction; the brown cloud bands
in this lower atmosphere compressed to tropical region along equator by
its polar vortices would have merged many of those cyclonic vortices within
it. Some
cloud bands at higher latitudes also have the phenomenon of opposite rotation
in easterly direction. Cloud bands on different altitudes exposed at different
latitudes driven by polar vortex pairs rotating at different angular velocities
and affected by chains of satellite vortices cause the phenomenon
of differential rotation. Larger

The phenomenon
of westerly cloud bands nearer to the equator appeared to be moving faster
than some westerly cloud bands further from the equator was as a result of those
chains of cyclonic vortices formed by jet streams at exposed higher latitudes;
at the sides towards the poles the cyclonic satellite vortices were rotating
in opposite westward direction have had dragged and slowed those lower altitude
westerly cloud bands in exposed regions on higher latitudes. The
tangential speed of a cloud band driven by a polar vortex depends directly on
its atmospheric density, and the angular velocity depends on its speed and altitude
and latitude. The brown cloud band region hidden directly underneath the equatorial
white cloud band should be rotating toward the east at a higher angular velocity.
The
phenomenon of planetary rings on Jupiter are formed as a result
of multiple polar vortices of many atmosphere layers have had their vortex
eyes opened to the extend that they had touched the equatorial plane,
which formed as a disc shape. A brown dwarf OTS 44 with enormous planetary
rings should also be formed in this similar manner.
Refer
to Mysterious
Planetary Rings for an animated illustration on how an atmospheric
layer is being opened by its polar vortices and compressed into a flat
disc shape around equator.

The
Great Red Spot is an anti-cyclonic satellite vortex of a very large and
elongated cyclonic vortex that has merged from a chain of cyclonic vortices,
these merged cyclonic satellite vortices were driven by a jet stream that
forms the brown cloud bands in tropical region at southern hemisphere.
As a result of being driven by a cyclonic vortex outside its vortex core,
the Great Red Spot is an anti-cyclone in southern hemisphere spinning
in counter clockwise direction. There were other large anti-cyclones at
northern hemisphere on an easterly brown cloud band that have similar
characteristics as the Great Red Spot.
Those
other storms are also satellite vortices of polar vortices on lower altitude
atmospheric layers that formed those higher latitude cloud bands. Depending
on the sides of a polar jet stream that has drove those satellite vortices,
these main axis driven satellite vortices could spin in any direction,
which has similar characteristics like a tornado on Earth that is also
a main axis driven atmospheric free vortex. This is unlike a hurricane
that is a dual axis formed cyclonic singular vortex. A cyclonic satellite
vortex coupled by centrifugal force of Jupiter's rotation would have higher
vortex intensity than an anti-cyclone on same altitude.

The Great Red Spot and other storms |
Gravity of Jupiter's moons
could affect those vortices, it would be of significant interest if any of those
moons is tracking the Great Red Spot or any of those other storms.
The different in vortex intensity
of the Great Red Spot and other storms on different altitudes has resulted in
different sunken atmospheric layer that causes the phenomena of a warm
or cold core vortex; a different atmospheric layer with a different
temperature range on a higher altitude would have filled the void in a vortex
column.
The phenomenon
of polar aurora on Jupiter is caused by a polar vortex under
influence of focused gravities of aligned planets in a solar system alignment; this is similar to polar aurora on Earth.
solar system alignment
could affect all types of free vortex on Jupiter.
See
Aurora, which is also caused by a polar vortex with glowing ionized
gas.

27th July 2007
The Great Red Spot was probed underneath
and nothing was found that could have contributed to the stability of
this storm.
Below
are some images of atmospheric vortex events with evident suggesting that
external precession by planetary arrangement might have affected them.
These evidence suggest gravity purterbation by a moon of Jupiter might
be the reason that the Great Red Spot is an exceptionally stable storm.
The Great Red Spot could be purturbed by an orbiting moon that is synchronized
to its position, this purterbation could be interacting with the storm
from directly above, by the sides, or from behind Jupiter.

triple alignment of Sun-Earth-Jupiter crossed aligned with Saturn-Earth-Neptune
and also crossed aligned with Earth-moon-Uranus, with Sun right on top
of the reservoir at the moment of this event. This
image is for illustration purpose, it is not ruled out that the wave patterns
could be caused by seismic waves propagated from beneath the Earth's crust. |
