Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging Jupiter's Aurora at Visible Wavelengths
Andrew P. Ingersoll,Ashwin R. Vasavada,Blane Little,C. Anger,Scott Bolton,Claudia Alexander,Kenneth P. Klaasen,W. Kent Tobiska +7 more
TL;DR: The first images of the aurora were taken by the Galileo spacecraft's Solid State Imaging (SSI) camera on November 9, 1996 and again on April 2, 1997 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Normal-Mode Approach to Jovian Atmospheric Dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear, quasi-geostrophic, baroclinic model of Jovian atmospheric dynamics is proposed, in which vertical variations of velocity are represented by a truncated sum over a complete set of orthogonal functions obtained by a separation of variables of the linearized potential vorticity equation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pioneer saturn infrared radiometer: preliminary results.
TL;DR: The effective temperature of Saturn, 94.4 + 3 K, implies a total emission greater than two times the absorbed sunlight, and the infrared data alone give an atmospheric abundance of H2 relative to H2 + He of 0.85 � 0.15.
Journal ArticleDOI
Saturn's south polar vortex compared to other large vortices in the Solar System
Ulyana A. Dyudina,Andrew P. Ingersoll,Shawn P. Ewald,Ashwin R. Vasavada,Robert A. West,Kevin H. Baines,Thomas W. Momary,Anthony D. Del Genio,J. Barbara,Carolyn C. Porco,Richard K. Achterberg,F. Michael Flasar,Amy A. Simon-Miller,Leigh N. Fletcher +13 more
TL;DR: The long-lived cyclonic vortex at Saturn's south pole has a 4200-km-diameter cloud-free nearly circular region as mentioned in this paper, and the rotation speeds reach 150 ± 20 ms^-1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pioneer 10 and 11 observations and the dynamics of Jupiter's atmosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the Pioneer 10 and 11 mission was used to investigate the effect of the equator-to-pole temperature difference at the level of infrared emission on the internal heat flux at the poles and equator.
