The Tropical Atmosphere of Jupiter - Shallow Weather, Deep Plumes, and Vortices
Chris Moeckel, Imke de Pater, Bob Sault +1
Towering storms, swirling clouds, and vortices are the cloud tops manifestation of complex weather systems shaping the atmosphere of Jupiter. We use observations from Juno's MicroW…
Tempests in the Troposphere: Mapping the Impact of Giant Storms on Jupiter's Deep Atmosphere
Chris Moeckel, Huazhi Ge, Imke de Pater
Storms are emerging as key drivers in shaping hydrogen-dominated atmospheres. Trace gas condensation can suppress convection and disrupt the distribution of energy and material in…
Investigating Temporal and Spatial Variation of Jupiter's Atmosphere with Radio Observations
Joanna Hardesty, Chris Moeckel, Imke de Pater
We study the spatial and temporal variability in Jupiter's atmosphere by comparing longitude-resolved brightness temperature maps from the Very Large Array (VLA) radio observatory…
Heat-Flux Limited Cloud Activity and Vertical Mixing in Giant Planet Atmospheres with an Application to Uranus and Neptune
Huazhi Ge, Cheng Li, Xi Zhang +1
Storms operated by moist convection and the condensation of or have been observed on Uranus and Neptune. However, the mechanism of cloud formation, therma…
Keck Near-Infrared Detections of Mab and Perdita
Edward M. Molter, Imke de Pater, Chris Moeckel
We report the first near-infrared detection of Uranus's tiny moon Mab, the presumed source of the blue and diffuse ring, using the NIRC2 instrument at Keck Observatory. The det…
Photometry of the Uranian Satellites with Keck and the Search for Mab
Samuel Paradis, Chris Moeckel, Joshua Tollefson +1
We present photometric properties of six small (radii < 100 km) satellites of Uranus based on 32 H-(1.49-1.78 um) band images taken on August 29, 2015 from the Keck II Telescope on…
