Jupiter’s Atmosphere through the Eyes of Juno
Jupiter’s Atmosphere through the Eyes of Juno
Session ID#: 83117
Session Description:
NASA's Juno mission operates a spacecraft in 53-day polar orbits around Jupiter, with a goal of understanding Jupiter's origin and evolution. As the largest and most massive planet in our solar system, Jupiter offers unique insight in the history of our solar system and how planetary systems in general form and evolve. One objective of the Juno mission is to establish the structure, composition and dynamics of the deep atmosphere and its relationship with the upper atmosphere. Juno has provided new observations of the global atmospheric structure and composition, storm and lightning distribution and cloud morphology and dynamics. This session welcomes presentations involving all results obtained by and in support of the Juno mission, including not only results of Juno and Earth-based supporting atmospheric observations but also theoretical modeling of atmospheric structure, composition and dynamics, and comparisons with the atmosphere of Saturn.
