Abstract
Looking at the Jovian atmosphere we find several patterns of cyclones, which are evolving over time. The goal of this project is to create a new model based on the Quasi Geostrophic Equations (QGE) to describe the time evolution of the vortex patterns. In order to describe the vortex patterns, the equations must be solved for the stream function. The QGE give an equation similar to the Poisson equation with some added terms, and from this equation the stream function is found using Fourier Transforms. In order to evolve in time, the strong stability Runge Kutta 3rd order method is used. The second part of the project consists of comparing the results of the new model with the ones obtained from the ShallowWater Model (SWM). By running the simulations with equal input as for the SWM the new algorithms can give more insight in the results of SWM.
