Scientific paper

Some implications of the recent data acquired by the NIMS instrument (Near-Infrared Mapping Spectrometer) on board Galileo for the clouds on Jupiter are presented. The poster covers the following: (i) a theoretical discussion of the retrieval method and the cloud condensation model, (ii) the radiative transfer properties of our model clouds, (iii) a preliminary interpretation of NIMS real-time spectra from the G1 orbit, in which reflectivities and transmissivities are fitted to model clouds, (iv) a discussion of NIMS capabilities when calibrated feature tracks are available, showing predicted phase and wavelength behaviour of model clouds for realistic NIMS observing sequences.
