This thesis investigates the formation and evolution of jets andvortices in turbulent planetary atmospheres using a dual approach ofhigh-resolution numerical simulations and novel laboratoryexperiments. A two-layer quasi-geostrophic beta-channel shallow watermodel is used for the numerical study. As in Panetta (1988), avertical shear is implemented to represent a spatially-meanlatitudinal temperature gradient, which is partially maintained bythermal damping. Baroclinic instabilities work to erode thetemperature gradient, while thermal damping acts to restore it. Asthe basic state vertical shear is unstable, the thermal damping cannotlead to a full recovery, thus modifying subsequent instabilities andleading to rich nonlinear dynamical beh...
