As per new study, To truly understand the internal rotation of Uranus and Neptune, scientists need to combine radio occultation with other measurements (like gravity data or wind models), rather than relying on a single method.

Here, researchers utilized the Zonal Wind Equation to relate atmospheric velocity profiles to the geopotential surface, calculating the 1-bar isobaric radius as a function of the planet's rotation rate. Source: https://arxiv.org/html/2604.19863v1 submitted by /u/LK_111 [link] [comments
