The Galileo Probe sampled Jupiter's atmosphere at the edge of a 5-Β΅m hot spot, where it found very little cloud opacity above the 700 mb level. Only Ο = 1-2 at Ξ» = 0.5 Β΅m was inferred from Net Flux Radiometer observations (Sromovsky et al. 1998, J. Geophys. Res. 103, 22,929-22,977), in seeming confl

A reanalysis of Galileo images of Jupiter's Equatorial Zone obtained in 1999 and 2001 reveals the presence of trains of cloud bands, probably generated by gravity waves, similar to those seen in Voyager 1 and 2 (1979) and New Horizons (2007) images. No such waves have been found in a similar analysi
The cloud structure of the jovian atmosphere at pressures less than 2 bars has previously been estimated using near-infrared observations such as those by both the Solid State Imager (SSI) and Near-Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (NIMS) instruments on board the Galileo spacecraft. Unfortunately, compl
