Adam P. Showman coauthored a theory of equatorial superrotation on tidally locked planets with Lorenzo M. Polvani. The mechanism transfers angular momentum through standing planetary waves forced by day-night heating, connecting atmospheric circulation models with displaced thermal hot spots.[ref]

Lorenzo M. Polvani coauthored work with Adam P. Showman explaining equatorial superrotation on tidally locked planets. Their models connect day-night forcing, planetary waves and mean-flow angular-momentum transport.[ref]
