This project will contribute to the understanding of Jupiter’s atmosphere by examining the vertical cloud structure and correlating it with the following: (1) atmospheric features on a wide range of spatial scales, (2) the wavelength dependence of the single-scattering albedo in the visible and near-infrared continuum, and (3) the distribution of coloring agents (chromophores). This will be acc...
