Motivated by the comments of Goodman (2009) on our paper concerning thermaltides (Arras and Socrates 2009a), we have studied an idealized problem tounderstand the global response of a completely fluid gas giant planet tothermal forcing at the surface (Arras and Socrates 2009b). Our findingsdisagree with the main claims in Goodman (2009). We find that significantquadrupole moments can indeed be induced as a result of thermal forcing.Furthermore, we find that it is possible for the orientation of the quadrupolesto be such that the planet is torqued away from synchronous rotation. Giventhese results, we believe our proposed thermal tide mechanism (Arras andSocrates 2009a) provides a viable scenario for generating steady-stateasychronous rotation, inflated radii and possibly eccentric orbits of the hotJupiters.
