Seasonal changes and free oscillations of giant planets atmospheres

Vid’machenko A.P.

Main Astronomical Observatory NAS of Ukraine

Abstract

The optical characteristics and physical parameters of giant planets atmospheres are researching. Existence of seasonal reorganization in Jupiter's and Saturn's atmospheres, existence of 22.3 years a magnetic Hale cycle of solar activity, availability of century changes of a whole Jupiter's disk brightness with a period of 180 years is revealed for the first time. We proposed the observational method and data reduction procedure which the first two harmonics of free oscillations for Jupiter's and Saturn's atmospheres have allowed to register for the first time.
