They continually circle the planet, and have changed very little in the 300 years that scientists have studied them. Massive east-west winds in Jupiter&#8217;s equatorial region reach approximately 340 miles per hour &#8212; twice as rapid as winds generated by strong hurricanes on Earth. At higher latitudes, the wind pattern switches to alternating jets that race around the planet.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>See &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2005\/11\/051111102817.htm\">Jupiter&#8217;s Massive Winds Likely Generated From Deep Inside Its Interior, Scientists Report<\/a>&#8221; from <strong>Science Daily<\/strong> for the complete article.<\/p>\n<p>And, by the way, mankind is <em>not<\/em> the cause of <a href=\"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/?p=7\">Global Warming<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jupiter&#8217;s Massive Winds Likely Generated From Deep Inside Its Interior, Scientists Report<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":190,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,10,36,30,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-astronomy","category-environment","category-satire","category-science","category-whacko-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/190"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
