Structure of Jupiter's High-Latitude Storms: Folded Filamentary Regions Revealed by Juno
L. N. Fletcher, Z. Zhang, S. Brown +17
Sprawling, turbulent cloud formations dominate the meteorology of Jupiter's mid-to-high latitudes, known as Folded Filamentary Regions (FFRs). A multi-wavelength characterisation b…
Wind shear and the role of eddy vapor transport in driving water convection on Jupiter
Ramanakumar Sankar, Michael H Wong, Csaba Palotai +1
Recent observations of convection in the jovian atmosphere have demonstrated that convection is strongly concentrated at specific locations on planet. For instance, observations of…
Jovian Vortex Hunter: a citizen science project to study Jupiter's vortices
Ramanakumar Sankar, Shawn Brueshaber, Lucy Fortson +4
The Jovian atmosphere contains a wide diversity of vortices, which have a large range of sizes, colors and forms in different dynamical regimes. The formation processes for these v…
Super-adiabatic Temperature Gradient at Jupiter's Equatorial Zone and Implications for the Water Abundance
Cheng Li, Michael Allison, Sushil Atreya +12
The temperature structure of a giant planet was traditionally thought to be an adiabat assuming convective mixing homogenizes entropy. The only in-situ measurement made by the Gali…
Atmospheric Science Questions for a Uranian Probe
Emma K. Dahl, Naomi Rowe-Gurney, Glenn S. Orton +5
The Ice Giants represent a unique and relatively poorly characterized class of planets that have been largely unexplored since the brief Voyager 2 flyby in the late 1980's. Uranus…
Ice Giant Atmospheric Science
Emma K. Dahl, Shawn Brueshaber, Richard Cosentino +24
This white paper, written in support of NASA's 2023-2032 Planetary Decadal Survey, outlines 10 major questions that focus on the origin, evolution, and current processes that shape…
Priority Questions for Jupiter System Science in the 2020s and Opportunities for Europa Clipper
Kunio M. Sayanagi, Tracy Becker, Shawn Brooks +20
This whitepaper identifies important science questions that can be answered through exploration of the Jupiter System, with emphasis on the questions that can be addressed by the E…
