The upper atmosphere of Jupiter
Icarus, 1971Abstract Diurnal variations of the Jovian exospheric temperatures are computed by solving time dependent heat balance equations. The departure of the daytime exospheric temperature from the nighttime value is found to be slight, due to the rapid rotation of this planet and the weak solar ultraviolet radiation at its orbit.

Germane in the atmosphere of Jupiter
Icarus, 1978Germane, GeH4, is a tetrahedral molecule like methane. The nu 3 fundamental mode of GeH4 falls in the middle of the 5-micrometer Jupiter window. Jupiter observations were made in December 1975 during three flights with the 0.9-m telescope of the Kuiper Airborne Observatory.

Dynamics of Jupiter's atmosphere
Nature, 2000Jupiter's atmosphere is famous for its storm systems, such as the Great Red Spot, which has been active for more than 300 years. What drives Jupiter's turbulent weather has long been a matter of debate. New images from the Galileo spacecraft indicate that moist convection — familiar from thunderstorms on Earth — transports energy upwards through the ...

Types of Hot Jupiter Atmospheres
2014Hot Jupiters, i.e. exoplanet gas giants, having masses comparable to the mass of Jupiter and semimajor axes shorter than 0.1 AU, are a unique class of objects. Since they are so close to the host stars, their atmospheres form and evolve under the action of very active gas dynamical processes caused by the gravitational field and irradiation of the host

Atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1981In this paper I review current knowledge of the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn, making use of the extensive telescopic studies, International Ultraviolet Explorer Satellite observations and the measurements made during the recent Pioneer and Voyager flybys which have been supported by detailed theoretical studies.

Transport properties of high-temperature Jupiter atmosphere components
Physics of Plasmas, 2009Transport properties of high-temperature helium and hydrogen plasmas as well as Jupiter atmosphere have been calculated for equilibrium and nonequilibrium conditions using higher approximations of the Chapman–Enskog method. A complete database of transport cross sections for relevant interactions has been derived, including minority species, by using ...

The meteorology of Jupiter's atmosphere
Advances in Space Research, 1981Abstract Observations of the atmosphere of Jupiter by the imaging and infrared instruments on the Voyager spacecraft have been analysed to provide new insight into the meteorology of Jupiter. Like the Earth, the atmosphere of Jupiter appears to behave in a quasi-geostrophic manner.

Exoplanets: Atmospheres of Hot Jupiters
2019The history of exoplanetary atmospheres studies is strongly based on the observations and investigations of the gaseous envelopes of hot Jupiters—exoplanet gas giants that have masses comparable to the mass of Jupiter and orbital semi-major axes shorter than 0.1 AU.
