Scientific paper

The paper reviews our current knowledge of Jupiter's atmosphere, concentrating on the meteorological features of the dynamic atmosphere, and discusses future space missions to Jupiter and the outer planets. The major atmospheric constituents are discussed, and the variety of colors displayed by the outer solar system is pointed out as suggesting the existence of complex hydrocarbons and possible exobiological processes. An atmospheric profile consistent with current observations of the Jovian atmosphere is shown. Other topics discussed are the structure of the belts and zones, atmospheric motions, and cloud morphologies.
