This videotape presents a panel discussion press conference about the attempts to discover if there is moisture in the atmosphere of Jupiter. David Seidel, of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) moderates the discussion. The panel consists of Andrew Ingersoll, California Institute of Technology, Tobias Owen, of the University of Hawaii, Glenn Orton, Robert Carlson of JPL, and Ashwin Vasavada, a graduate student at Cal Tech. Each of the panelists discusses evidence for moisture in Jupiter's atmosphere. They show video tapes of either animation or shots from the Galileo mission or diagrams of the atmosphere of Jupiter. The videos clips that are shown, include a brief summary of the Galileo mission. A diagram showing the layers of Jupiter's atmosphere is discussed. One panelist discusses and shows shots from the nightside of Jupiter. Another video clip shows evidence for convergence downdrafts around dry spots. Evidence for thunderstorms and updrafts is also reviewed. Shots of the giant red spot on Jupiter are shown, and explanations are given as to what it may be.
