Dynamic Europa ocean shows transient Taylor columns and convection driven by ice melting and salinity
The deep ocean of Jupiter’s moon Europa is one of the prime candidates for finding life outside Earth within the solar system. Here, the authors show that Europa’s ocean is energetic, yet weakly stratified with its density dominated by salinity effects.
