Abstract
⺠We present a 3D general circulation model of Pluto and Triton's atmospheres. ⺠Vertical motion is practically nonexistent, while horizontal flow is mainly zonal. ⺠The meridional and dayside-nightside temperature contrast is small. ⺠The strong temperature inversion on Pluto prohibits vertical motion. ⺠The flow behavior of Triton's plumes can be explained by wind shear alone.
