Résumé

Gravity and magnetic field data obtained by the Juno mission show that Jupiter's strong zonal winds extend a few thousand kilometers into the interior, but are quenched above the level where the electrical conductivity becomes significant. Here, we extend a simple linearized model [Christensen et al.,
