Highly depleted alkali metals in Jupiter's deep atmosphere

Ananyo Bhattacharya, Cheng Li, Sushil K. Atreya +12

Water and ammonia vapors are known to be the major sources of spectral absorption at pressure levels observed by the microwave radiometer (MWR) on Juno. However, the brightness tem…

Jupiter's Temperate Belt/Zone Contrasts Revealed at Depth by Juno Microwave Observations

L. N. Fletcher, F. A. Oyafuso, M. Allison +12

Juno Microwave Radiometer (MWR) observations of Jupiter's mid-latitudes reveal a strong correlation between brightness temperature contrasts and zonal winds, confirming that the ba…

Lightning generation in moist convective clouds and constraints on the water abundance in Jupiter

Yury S. Aglyamov, Jonathan Lunine, Heidi N. Becker +7

Recent Juno observations have greatly extended the temporal and spatial coverage of lightning detection on Jupiter. We use these data to constrain a model of moist convection and l…

Keys of a Mission to Uranus or Neptune, the Closest Ice Giants

Tristan Guillot, Jonathan Fortney, Emily Rauscher +26

Uranus and Neptune are the archetypes of "ice giants", a class of planets that may be among the most common in the Galaxy. They hold the keys to understand the atmospheric dynamics…

Possible Transient Luminous Events observed in Jupiter's upper atmosphere

Rohini S. Giles, Thomas K. Greathouse, Bertrand Bonfond +10

11 transient bright flashes were detected in Jupiter's atmosphere using the UVS instrument on the Juno spacecraft. These bright flashes are only observed in a single spin of the sp…
