Abstract A possible mechanism (of parametric resonance type) of excitation of planetary gyroscopic waves in Thomson-Delaney cells of the ocean of Jovian moon Europa is considered. It is assumed that the basis of this mechanism is a variation of liquid depth in a cell caused by tidal oscillations under the action of gravitational perturbing influence of Galilean satellites of Jupiter. Such a model leads to a system of linear differential equations with periodic coefficients of the Hill’s type. Under some additional assumptions it changes over into a system of independent Mathieu equations. The regions of parametric resonance of this system are constructed.
