The Galileo probe into Jupiter's atmosphere entered a ``hot spot'' composed of dry, less dense air. Despite assertions that hot spots are regions of downwelling, no viable mechanism has been proposed to transport less dense air over a scale height into the deep atmosphere. Here, we present a numerical simulation of convection in Jupiter's atmosphere which indicates that less dense air from above the clouds may be carried into the deep atmosphere by strong convective entrainment.
