A remarkable phenomenon in turbulent flows is the spontaneous emergence of coherent large spatial scale zonal jets. In this work a comprehensive theory for the interaction of jets with turbulence, stochastic structural stability theory, is applied to the...

Turbulent flows are often observed to be organized into large-spatial-scale jets such as the familiar zonal 
jets in the upper levels of the Jovian atmosphere. These relatively steady large-scale jets are not forced 
coherently but are maintained by the...

Coherent jets, such as the Jovian banded winds, are  prominent feature of rotating turbulence. Shallow water turbulence models capture the essential mechanism of jet formation, which is systematic eddy momentum flux directed up the mean velocity gradient...
