Resumen:
In this work we study in a general view slow rotating planets as Venus or Titan which present superrotatingwinds in their atmospheres. We are interested in understanding what mechanisms are candidates tobe sources of net angular momentum to generate this kind of dynamics. In particular, in the case of Venus, inits atmosphere around an altitude of 100 km relative to the surface, there exists winds that perform a full rotationaround the planet in four terrestrial days, whereas the venusian day is equivalent to 243 terrestrial ones.This phenomenon called superrotation is known since many decades. However, its origin and behaviour isnot completely understood. In this article we analise and ponderate the importance of different effects to generatethis dynamics.
