Proposal Summary

Ultraviolet Studies of Jupiter?s Hydrocarbons and Aerosols from Galileo Abstract We propose to model Galileo Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) data on Jupiter?s hydrocarbons and aerosols using standard radiative transfer codes. Additional information will come from Galileo Solid-State Imager (SSI) data, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images and ground-based spectrophotometry. Analyzing these spatially resolved data sets will lead to mixing ratios for Jupiter?s stratospheric hydrocarbons, primarily ethane and acetylene, and possibly for other species such as ethylene. Stratospheric and tropospheric aerosol properties at a number of latitudes and in a variety of planetary features will also be determined.
