Abstract
Zonal jets are a ubiquitous feature of the circulation of planetary atmospheres, oceans and interiors. Many of the dynamical mechanisms that lead to the formation and evolution of such jets can be reproduced and studied in laboratory experiments, which have proved to be important sources of insight for understanding the nature of planetary jets. Here we introduce some of the key concepts underlying the production and maintenance of patterns of zonal jets in rotating and/or stratified flows. We then review a broad range of laboratory experiments that have helped to test and verify many of the dynamical mechanisms proposed to interpret geophysical jets involving the interaction of eddies and zonal flows. Laboratory experiments continue to have an important role to play in elucidating a quantitative understanding of zonal jets and their interactions with other aspects of planetary circulation systems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
