英文摘要 | Since the odd zonal gravitational coefficients of Jupiter are nearly unaffected by the planet's rotational distortion, an effective way of estimating the internal structure of the equatorially antisymmetric Jovian winds is to measure the odd coefficients induced by their equatorially antisymmetric component and then apply a mathematical theory to 'invert' them. The thermal-gravitational wind equation (TGWE) provides this theoretical basis for interpretation. Here, we show that the kernel term of the TGWE requires that its solutions satisfy a solvability condition. The thermal wind equation is a diagnostic relation that generates a 'solution' for any zonal wind profile, but that 'solution' does not necessarily satisfy the solvability condition required for the TGWE. We develop a new approach to solving the TGWE that respects the solvability condition. We then calculate the odd zonal gravitational coefficients of Jupiter using a profile of zonal winds that satisfies the solvability condition and is equatorially antisymmetric and consistent with the observed cloud-level winds of Jupiter. We also explain the subtle but profound difference between the TWE and the TGWE via an analogous inhomogeneous ordinary differential equation. The developed method can be readily extended for inversion of the data soon to be acquired by the Juno spacecraft. |
