Physics

Scientific paper

We present the latitudinal and vertical distributions of Jovian stratospheric aerosols and cloud top levels retrieved from Cassini ISS (Imaging Science Subsystem) images. A nonlinear optimization approach is used to simultaneously obtain the aerosol and cloud information from three channels together: the cloud channel at 938 nm, the strong methane absorption band at 890 nm, and the UV channel at 258 nm, based on previous work (Banfield et al., 1998) in the near IR band (H and K bands). Large difference between the scattering properties of aerosols and clouds in the equatorial region and polar region indicate different types of aerosol and clouds in the two regions.
