    Quenching of zonal winds in Jupiter’s interior

    Gravity and magnetic field data obtained by the Juno mission show that Jupiter’s strong zonal winds extend a few thousand kilometers into the interior, but are quenched above the level where the electrical conductivity becomes significant. Here, we extend a simple linearized model [Christensen et al., Astrophys. J. 890 , 61 (2020)] that explains the braking of the jets by the combination of stable stratification and electromagnetic effects. We show that in the inviscid limit, the process is essentially governed by a single parameter, which we call the MAC-number (for the forces acting on the flow—Magnetic, Archimedian, and Coriolis). The predictions for the drop-off of the zonal winds agree well with results from 3D-convection models. We run calculations that take the full range of density and electrical conductivity variations in the top 5,600 km of Jupiter into account. In order to satisfy constraints on the power driving the jets and on their effect on Jupiter’s magnetic field, the top of the stable layer and the region where the jet velocity drops sharply must be near 2,000 km depth. The dissipation associated with quenching of the jets increases toward the poles, which can partly explain why the jets near ± 20 ° are faster than those at higher latitude.EPSRC 50110000026
