Dynamics of the atmosphere of Jupiter

Endeavour, 1996
Abstract Atmospheric jets and vortices on Jupiter persist for decades in the presence of vigorous turbulence which might be expected to destroy organized flows. The penetration depth of the jets into the planet has been a major question, and new data from the NASA Galileo entry probe suggest that they are not shallow atmospheric phenomena.

Galileo Probe: In Situ Observations of Jupiter's Atmosphere

Science, 1996
The Galileo probe performed the first in situ measurements of the atmosphere of Jupiter on 7 December 1995. The probe returned data until it reached a depth corresponding to an atmospheric pressure of ∼24 bars. This report presents a brief overview of the origins and purpose of the mission.

Discovering the atmospheres of hot Jupiters

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2019
AbstractHot Jupiters are an extraordinary class of exoplanets, orbiting their host stars with periods of hours to a few days. Some of these objects have day-side temperatures approaching photospheric temperatures of late K-type stars. I will give an overview of how we characterize the atmospheres of these fascinating objects and some the more recent ...

On the dynamics of Jupiter's atmosphere

Vistas in Astronomy, 1981
Abstract 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.

The atmospheres of venus and jupiter

Contemporary Physics, 1980
Abstract Present knowledge of the constitution, structure and dynamics of the atmospheres of Venus and Jupiter are reviewed in the light of observations and measurements from recent space missions.

The convectively unstable atmosphere of Jupiter

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1974
The imaging photopolarimeter on Pioneer 10 has provided new data to support the convection theory of Williams and Robinson (1973). The appearance of Jupiter is explained with a model of convection in the atmosphere.

The Atmosphere and Ionosphere of Jupiter

1975
Selected topics in Jovian research are reviewed with an emphasis on recent results from Pioneer 10. The Pioneer 10 results for the temperature field in the lower atmosphere are not consistent with other observational constraints and must be rejected. The results for the ionosphere suggest that the thermosphere may be surprisingly hot, ∼ 103 K.

Jupiter's Atmosphere: Problems and Potential of Radio Occultation

Science, 1975
The atmospheric temperature-pressure profiles derived from the Pioneer 10-Pioneer 11 radio occultation experiment are mutually consistent but differ markedly from the results of other investigations. Current studies indicate that the occultation interpretation contains errors that were made very large by an inherent magnification effect, and that these
