Atmospheric structure and composition of Jupiter: Results from Juno, supporting observations and modeling

Session ID#: 160030

Session Description:
Our understanding of giant planet atmospheres and their connection to deeper interior layers has been dramatically improved by NASA's Juno mission, in coordination with Earth-based supporting observations. Juno arrived at Jupiter in 2016, aiming to explore its origin and evolution in the context of solar-system history, and therefore addressing themes at the heart of modern planetary science. This is pursued by constraining the present-day structure, composition and dynamics of the deep atmosphere and its relationship with the upper atmosphere.


Juno is providing a wealth of new measurements, revealing key insights into the interior and atmosphere of Jupiter: global atmospheric structure and composition, storm and lightning distribution, cloud morphology and dynamics, particularly at the poles, inaccessible to previous observations. This session welcomes presentations on giant planet atmospheric science---including atmospheric observations and theoretical modeling of atmospheric structure, composition, and dynamics---particularly those using observations from or in support of the Juno mission.
