Jupiter's Turbulent Power Spectra From Hubble Space Telescope

Morales-Juberías, Raúl; Simon, Amy; Cosentino, Richard G.

Turbulence in Jupiter's atmosphere was investigated with archival and ongoing observations from the Hubble Space Telescope. Data sets that include one full rotation (360° longitude coverage) were used to produce complete maps of the planet's upper cloud layer. The global maps were analyzed to generate the passive tracer power spectrum of cloud fea…
