Why do Neptune and Uranus seem to have such dynamic atmospheres even though they receive so little sunlight?
Beats me. This is why we have dynamicists. But look – the dynamicists were surprised by the Voyager results showing a highly dynamic atmosphere on Neptune, EVEN THOUGH ground-based images had been showing remarkable cloud activity for years prior to the fly-by. So it doesn’t surprise me that they are confounded by the idea of seasonal variations on these distant giants. We just don’t understand these atmospheres yet.
