L9-L14: apply Tier 1 (mechanical) adversarial review fixes
All ship-blocker rendering and factual bugs flagged by the 2nd adversarial review pass. None of these are judgment calls; they are mechanical corrections that prevent broken HTML/LaTeX output or remove factual contradictions. L9 Earth & Venus: - Replace undefined `\venus` math macro at line 527 with `\mathrm{Venus}` (would have caused MathJax error in HTML and likely broken XeLaTeX compilation) - Replace `{\bf Venus}` and `{\bf Earth}` LaTeX syntax in figure captions at lines 23 and 286 with the MyST-native `**Venus**` and `**Earth**` form (LaTeX `{\bf}` does not render in MyST) L11 Gas & Ice Giants: - Fix Saturn-vs-Neptune wind-speed contradiction at line 314. Previously claimed Saturn's equatorial jet "is the fastest in the solar system" at ~400 m/s, contradicting lines 669 and 782 which correctly say Neptune's ~580 m/s retrograde flow is the fastest. Reworded to "one of the fastest" with a forward reference to the Neptune section in Part 2. - Fix `Bolton2017` misattribution at line 78. Bolton 2017 is the Juno first-results paper; the 1995 Galileo probe entry-site composition result is from Niemann et al. 1998 JGR. Added Niemann1998 to references.bib and updated the citation. Also tightened the prose to "Galileo probe mass spectrometer measurements" to match the source paper title. - Drop a stray escaped apostrophe `Saturn\'s` at line 317 (rendered literally; should be `Saturn's`) L12 Small Bodies: - Drop the broken L13 forward reference at line 1197. L12 previously promised that interstellar visitors would be "the link between the small-body science of this lecture and the exoplanet content of L13 and L14", but neither L13 nor L14 actually contain ISO content. Reworded to "the conceptual link... a complement to the remote-sensing approaches developed in L13" which is true. L13 Exoplanets: - Global chemistry style pass: 84 bare-subscript chemical formulae converted to the project-mandated `\mathrm{}` form. L9 has 88 `\mathrm{}` wrappings and L5 has 45; L13 had zero, in violation of the documented project convention. Examples: `H$_2$O` -> `$\mathrm{H_2O}$`, `CO$_2$` -> `$\mathrm{CO_2}$`, `H$_2$/He` -> `$\mathrm{H_2}$/He`, `H$_2$-rich` -> `$\mathrm{H_2}$-rich`, `(H$_2$, N$_2$,` -> `($\mathrm{H_2}$, $\mathrm{N_2}$,` etc. Affects ~50 distinct prose locations across Parts 1-3. L14 Synthesis: - Fix LaTeX-escape rendering bugs at 6 locations. `e.g.\ ` and `et al.\ ` (LaTeX spacing) would render literally in MyST as "e.g.\ " and "et al.\ " with the visible backslash. Replaced with regular space. Also fixed `Wolf \& Toon 2014` and `Ment\&Charbonneau23` which would render the backslash literally or break entity escaping; replaced with plain `&`. References inventory after this batch: 384 unique BibTeX keys (was 383, +Niemann1998). All 350 unique citations across L9-L14 still resolve cleanly. All 222 figure references still resolve to on-disk files. Zero em-dashes anywhere in L9-L14 prose. Tier 1 of the priority plan is now complete. Tier 2 (substantive equation-density additions, L10 Olympus Mons height, L10 L4 cross-reference fix, L12 Bizzarro/Connelly/Johansen attribution) deferred to a separate batched pass after Tim's input.

Jupiter's visible atmosphere is the cloud-bearing layer at pressures between approximately 0.1 and 10 bar.
7777
As discussed in {ref}`lecture06`, the composition of the cloud layers is set by the condensation curves of the most abundant volatile species: ammonia ice ($\mathrm{NH_3}$) condenses near the 0.5--1 bar level to form the highest cloud deck, ammonium hydrosulphide ($\mathrm{NH_4SH}$) condenses near 2--3 bar, and water ice and water cloud occur deepest at $\sim 5\text{--}7$ bar.

The most distinctive feature of Saturn's atmosphere is the **hexagonal jet stream** at $\sim 78^\circ$ N latitude, a six-sided standing wave that has been present continuously since Voyager observed it in 1981 and was mapped in detail by Cassini through its 13-year tour.
312312
The hexagon is interpreted as a Rossby wave locked to a strong eastward zonal jet whose meridional shear sets the wavenumber of the standing pattern; laboratory experiments with rotating-tank flows can reproduce stable polygonal jet patterns in similar conditions, although the exact physical mechanism that selects six rather than five or seven sides is not yet definitively understood.

Saturn's equatorial jet is one of the fastest in the solar system, with peak speeds reaching $\sim$400 m s$^{-1}$, more than double the equivalent on Jupiter, though it is itself surpassed by Neptune's $\sim$580 m s$^{-1}$ retrograde equatorial flow (see Part 2).

The "Great White Storms" are massive convective outbursts that erupt every $\sim$30 years (one Saturnian year), span thousands of kilometres, and circle the planet within a few months before dissipating.
