5704 Atmospheres: Composition And Chemistry

Scientific paper

Passive sounding of Jupiter's atmosphere at wavelengths between 1-100 cm may be a possible technique for retrieving compositional information from orbiting spacecraft to depths corresponding to hundreds of bars pressure. The Solar System Exploration Decadal Survey has recommended such sounding for a future Jupiter Polar Orbiter Probe mission. We assess the sensitivity of retrieved atmospheric composition in the spectral region 1-100 cm to several parameters, including: spectral line shapes and widths of ammonia and water at high pressures and temperatures, thermal structure of the atmosphere, non-ideal gas effects in the gaseous equation of state, elemental abundance uncertainties, cloud dielectric properties, pressure depth to which the retrieval algorithm extends, and influence of ionization of, for example, alkali metals at high temperatures in the deepest portions of the retrieval region.
