Book excerpt: The sky has been always in the mind of humans, as a target, a challenge and a source of knowledge. In the late 20th century, the Human Race has managed to significantly improve technology aimed at the exploration of space and the acquisition of knowledge about the Solar System and beyond it. However, knowledge can be also acquired from Earth in a easier and cheaper way. With the intention of providing and completing scientific information about Jupiter and Saturn, particularly its atmospheric nature and dynamics, this thesis is carried out. This file is the result of a thesis based on the study of numerical simulations about phenomena observed in the Gas Giants. Firstly, it establishes a reference frame about Jupiter and Saturn which includes the most relevant information about the planets such their characteristics, nature, phenomena and performed exploration. The introduction is focused on the atmosphere of the planets and the phenomena which has been observed to take place there. In addition, some characteristics about the dynamics that govern them are also presented. Once the scientific reference frame is established a general explanation about the physical model used in the software is explained. This part of the report provides the main equations and few details regarding model and the computational aspect, which have to be considered. In third place, the different cases studied in the simulations are explained. Each case presents the scientific reference followed and then presents the methodology used and results obtain as well as some comments about them. At the end, the conclusions and recommendations for the follow up of the study are given, together with an economic and environmental study.
