Mesoscale waves

By Glenn on 2018-02-07 UT

Observations of waves in Jupiter's atmosphere have been made by several spacecraft, starting with Voyager, and this has continued with recent observations by the Hubble Space Telescope in the visible and Very Large Telescope observations at 5 microns.   The JunoCam instrument has identified waves structures on a finer scale (smaller than 170 km) that have ever been observed previously.    One of these is apparent in the PJ7 observations of the northern edge of the Great Red Spot.  But others are apparent elsewhere, primarily near the equator, on other perijoves.   This thread will mirror work by the team leading to a published paper summarizing these results with a planned submission in early summer of 2018.

    2020 January 2.   The submission to JGR needed to be modified in order to acount for two reference to article that were "in press" and "submitted".   I provided a DOI for the article by Ashwin Braude et all that was in press, and I provided a copy of the submitted version of the article by Michael H. Wong.  The submission was then accepted and transferred to the editor.

    This is the 2019 December 26 version of the Supplemental Information file for the article on fine-scale waves. All corrections have been made and the file is ready to submit as an ancillary file to the primary article for the special issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research on latest results from the Juno mission.

    We are preparing a manuscript for a publication in a special issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research - Planets (published by the American Geophysical Union): A Survey of Small-Scale Waves and Wave-Like Phenomena in Jupiter's Atmosphere Detected by JunoCam.    I'm the lead author, and we're racing to get this written by the nominal deadline of November 30.  Attached is the November 17 version of the Supplemental Information file that will accompany the main article, which we wrote first because it includes excepts of images (in cylinrical-map form) of anywhere we detected candidates for small-scale waves and wave-like phenomena, a sub-set of which we will extract for the main article.  This will be updaed to include tables of measured properties.
