Nonlinear singular vectors (NSVs) of a Jovian atmosphere model are obtained numerically in this paper. NSVs are the initial perturbation, whose nonlinear evolution attains the maximal value of the cost function, which is constructed according to the physical problem of interest. The results demonstrate that the motions of Jupiter's atmosphere is relatively stable under some assumptions. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
