Atmospheres of the Outer Planets

Session ID#: 77461

Session Description:
The focus of this session will be studies of the thermospheric, ionospheric, and atmospheric processes occurring at the outer gas planets, including composition and energetic emissions. Cassini grand finale observations in the upper atmosphere of Saturn with relation to material transport and the ring/atmosphere connection will be a central focus for discussion.  Additional emphasis will be placed on X-ray, ultraviolet, and infrared emissions and the auroral morphology associated with the polar Jovian atmosphere. Data driven studies associated with the Cassini and Juno spacecraft are particularly encouraged. All combinations of theoretical and observational studies of the outer planets are welcome.
