New Study Shows Great Red Spot Cause of Heated Atmosphere
... – whenever they looked at the southern hemisphere. Turbulent atmospheric flows above the storm produce both gravity waves and acoustic waves. Heating in the upper atmosphere 500 miles above the storm is thought to be caused by a combination of these...
