We report about the spectroscopic identification of high altitude ammonia ice clouds observed in three discrete oval structures in the atmosphere of Jupiter by the Jovian InfraRed Auroral Mapper (JIRAM, [1]) aboard the Juno mission. The ovals are observed at stationary positions on 2.57 m radiance maps derived from JIRAM's spectrometer channel data acquired on Aug 2th 2016 (observation phase #2) and Aug 25th 2016 (#3) during Juno's first perijove passage. A quantitative analysis of these three features is performed by means of an inversion technique based on Bayesian method.

Abstract
We report about the spectroscopic identification of high altitude ammonia ice clouds observed in three discrete oval structures in the atmosphere of Jupiter by the Jovian InfraRed Auroral Mapper (JIRAM, [1]) aboard the Juno mission. The ovals are observed at stationary positions on 2.57 m radiance maps derived from JIRAM's spectrometer channel data acquired on Aug 2th 2016 (observation phase #2) and Aug 25th 2016 (#3) during Juno's first perijove passage. A quantitative analysis of these three features is performed by means of an inversion technique based on Bayesian method.File in questo prodotto:
