Jupiter's Polar Vortex Crystals Explored using the Shallow Water Equations
Sihe Chen, Andrew P. Ingersoll, Cheng Li
At the poles of Jupiter, cyclonic vortices are clustered together in patterns made up of equilateral triangles called vortex crystals. Such patterns are seen in laboratory flows bu…
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…
Constraints on the latitudinal profile of Jupiter's deep jets
E. Galanti, Y. Kaspi, K. Duer +7
The observed zonal winds at Jupiter's cloud tops have been shown to be closely linked to the asymmetric part of the planet's measured gravity field. However, other measurements sug…
Storms and the Depletion of Ammonia in Jupiter: II. Explaining the Juno Observations
Tristan Guillot, Cheng Li, Scott Bolton +8
Observations of Jupiter's deep atmosphere by the Juno spacecraft have revealed several puzzling facts: The concentration of ammonia is variable down to pressures of tens of bars, a…
The water abundance in Jupiter's equatorial zone
Cheng Li, Andrew Ingersoll, Scott Bolton +20
Oxygen is the most common element after hydrogen and helium in Jupiter's atmosphere, and may have been the primary condensable (as water ice) in the protoplanetary disk. Prior to t…
