P24B:
Results from the Investigation of Jupiter’s Atmosphere by Juno and a Supporting Campaign of Earth-Based Observations I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 60221

Session Description:
NASA'€™s Juno mission operates a spacecraft in 53-day polar orbits around Jupiter, with the ultimate goals of understanding Jupiter's origin and evolution.  One specific objective is to establish the structure, composition and dynamics of the deep atmosphere and its relationship with the upper atmosphere.   Juno's polar orbit with close approaches near the terminator only a few thousand kilometers above the cloud tops provides the opportunity to characterize poorly explored polar regions and to study the characteristics of cloud dynamics and composition at spatial resolutions as fine as 6 km.   An integral part of Juno's exploration is a campaign of Earth-based observations that extend and enhance spacecraft results by complementing Juno's spatial, temporal and spectral coverage.  This session welcomes presentations involving all results obtained by and in support of the Juno mission, including not only results of Juno and Earth-supporting observations but also theoretical modeling of atmospheric structure, composition and dynamics.
