Scientific paper

The vertical structure of Jupiter's winds is not well known, especially away from the cloud deck. By reanalyzing the data from the Galileo probe, we derive the vertical profile of the zonal wind from Jupiter's upper troposphere ( 340 mbar) to the lower thermosphere ( 65 nbar). This is the first time that a wind profile over such a large altitude range has been obtained. We also identify the altitude of the turbopause. Our profile further supports the presence of a quasi-quadrennial oscillation on Jupiter.
