Methane on Uranus: The case for a compact CH4 cloud layer at low latitudes and a severe CH4 depletion at high-latitudes based on re-analysis of Voyager occultation measurements and STIS spectroscopy
Lawrence Sromovsky, Patrick Fry, Joo Hyeon Kim
Lindal et al. (1987, J. Geophys. Res. 92, 14987-15001) presented a range of temperature and CH4 profiles for Uranus that were consistent with 1986 Voyager radio occultation measure…
Uranus at equinox: Cloud morphology and dynamics
Lawrence Sromovsky, Patrick Fry, Heidi Hammel +5
As the 7 December 2007 equinox of Uranus approached, ring and atmosphere observers produced a substantial collection of observations using the 10-m Keck telescope and the Hubble Sp…
Methane depletion in both polar regions of Uranus inferred from HST/STIS and Keck/NIRC2 observations
Lawrence Sromovsky, Erich Karkoschka, Patrick Fry +3
From STIS observations of Uranus in 2012, we found that the methane volume mixing ratio declined from about 4% at low latitudes to about 2% at 60 deg N and beyond. This is similar…
Saturn's Great Storm of 2010-2011: Evidence for ammonia and water ices from analysis of VIMS spectra
Lawrence Sromovsky, Kevin Baines, Patrick Fry
Our analysis of Cassini/VIMS near-infrared spectra of Saturn's Great Storm of 2010-2011 reveals a multi-component aerosol composition comprised primarily of ammonia ice, with a sig…
Record-breaking Storm Activity on Uranus in 2014
Imke de Pater, L. A. Sromovsky, P. M. Fry +3
In spite of an expected decline in convective activity following the 2007 equinox of Uranus, eight sizable storms were detected on the planet with the near-infrared camera NIRC2, c…
