“…During both fly-bys, the Voyager spacecraft obtained sequences of high-resolution images of the clouds of Jupiter, from which velocity fields could be determined by tracking the motion of cloud features (e.g. Mitchell et al 1981;Limaye 1986;Dowling and Ingersoll 1988;Simon 1999). In addition, three-dimensional information on the thermal field in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere at a spatial resolution of around 2 • in latitude and longitude was obtained during the closest fly-bys from infrared observations using the Voyager IRIS instrument (Flasar et al 1981;Simon-Miller et al 2002).…”

SUMMARYMaps of Ertel potential vorticity on isentropic surfaces (IPV) and/or quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity (QGPV) are well established in dynamical meteorology as powerful sources of insight into dynamical processes involving 'balanced' flow. In the present study, we derive maps of zonal-mean IPV and QGPV in Jupiter's upper troposphere and lower stratosphere by making use of a combination of velocity measurements, derived from the tracking of cloud features in images from the Voyager 1 and 2 and Cassini missions, and thermal measurements from the Voyager 1 IRIS and Cassini CIRS instruments. IPV and QGPV are mapped and compared for the entire globe between latitudes ±55 • . Profiles of zonally averaged PV show some evidence for a step-like pattern suggestive of local PV homogenization, separated by strong PV gradients in association with eastward jets, though on differing scales in the northern and southern hemispheres. The northward gradient of PV (IPV or QGPV) is found to change sign in several places in each hemisphere, even when baroclinic contributions are taken into account. The relationship of lateral gradients of IPV and QGPV with the corresponding mean zonal flows indicate that the northern hemisphere may be closer to marginal stability with respect to Arnol'd's second stability theorem than the southern hemisphere.

“…In particular, the nuclear tests carried out by India and Pakistan in 1998 exposed Japan's lack of influence in global institutions, and especially the United Nations and, therefore, the assumptions about the utility of these institutions that underpinned the globalists' arguments. 19 Traditional security concerns, such as national defence and the alliance, then returned to the centre of the political agenda following the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001. The Japanese security debates quickly shifted toward alliance cooperation and America's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.…”

“…Although both expressed the desire for better ties in the early to mid‐1990s, as India began its “Look East” policy and Japan greatly increased its overseas development aid and assistance to the country (Envall, , pp. 42–44), India's Pokhran II nuclear tests in 1998 angered and alienated the Japanese as much as, if not more, than the Americans (Limaye, ). In August 2000, however, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori traveled to New Delhi and began repairing relations.…”

This article examines the use of strategic partnerships by Asian states as a means of enhancing national and regional security, as well as advancing economic and other objectives. It argues that strategic partnerships are best conceived as a new practice that signals the emergence of new forms of "security governance" in the region. It observes, however, that whereas early strategic partnerships were based on substantive shared agreement on "system principles," contemporary strategic partnerships take different forms, some grounding closer cooperation between like-minded partners and some intending to facilitate better management of partners with divergent values and interests. The contemporary behavior of the United States and its traditional and new security partners in the region conform to this general pattern. The article concludes that the proliferation of strategic partnerships and the emergence of regional security governance should prompt a reappraisal of traditional approaches to Asian security, which tend to concentrate on architecture and community at the expense of practices.
