TL;DR: Juno’s first close pass over Jupiter provides answers and fresh questions about the giant planet, including images of weather in the polar regions and measurements of the magnetic and gravitational fields and microwaves to peer below the visible surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Initial Results of the Geostationary Synthetic Thinned Array Radiometer (GeoSTAR) Demonstrator Instrument
Alan Tanner,William J. Wilson,B.H. Lambrigsten,Steven J. Dinardo,Shannon Brown,Pekka Kangaslahti,T. C. Gaier,Christopher S. Ruf,S.M. Gross,Boon Lim,S. Musko,S. Rogacki,Jeffrey R. Piepmeier +12 more
TL;DR: The design, error budget, and preliminary test results of a 50-56-GHz synthetic aperture radiometer demonstration system are presented and one result suggests a hybrid image synthesis algorithm in which long baselines are processed by a fast Fourier transform and the short baselines have their processing handled by a more precise algorithm which can handle small anomalies among antenna and receiver responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution of ammonia on Jupiter from a preliminary inversion of Juno Microwave Radiometer data
Cheng Li,Andrew P. Ingersoll,Michael Janssen,Steven Levin,Scott Bolton,Virgil Adumitroaie,Michael Allison,J. K. Arballo,Amadeo Bellotti,Shannon Brown,Shawn P. Ewald,L. A. Jewell,Sidharth Misra,Glenn S. Orton,Fabiano Oyafuso,Paul G. Steffes,R. Williamson +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of Markov chain Monte Carlo method and Tikhonov regularization was used to invert Jupiter's global ammonia distribution assuming a prescribed temperature profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Satellite Salinity Observing System: Recent Discoveries and the Way Forward
Nadya T. Vinogradova,Tong Lee,Jacqueline Boutin,Kyla Drushka,Severine Fournier,Roberto Sabia,Detlef Stammer,Eric Bayler,Nicolas Reul,Arnold L. Gordon,Oleg Melnichenko,Laifang Li,Eric Hackert,Matthew Martin,Nicolas Kolodziejczyk,Audrey Hasson,Shannon Brown,Sidharth Misra,Eric Lindstrom +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a community perspective on the major achievements of satellite SSS for the aforementioned topics, the unique capability of satellite salinity observing system and its complementarity with other platforms, uncertainty characteristics of satelliteSSS, and measurement versus sampling errors in relation to in situ salinity measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel Near-Land Radiometer Wet Path-Delay Retrieval Algorithm: Application to the Jason-2/OSTM Advanced Microwave Radiometer
TL;DR: The PD retrieval algorithm developed in this paper is applicable to both open-Ocean and mixed land-ocean scenes, thus enabling retrievals in the coastal zone and is demonstrated with detailed simulations and application to measurements from the Advanced Microwave Radiometer on the Jason-2/Ocean Surface Topography Mission.
