Scientific paper

Using high-spectral resolution ground-based observations of methane emission in the mid-infrared and modeling them with a line-by-line radiative transfer program, we infer the 3-dimensional temperature structure of a portion of Jupiter's mid- to low-latitude stratosphere in January 2005 and October 2009. The retrieved temperatures display strong evidence for Jupiter's equatorial Quasi- Quadrennial Oscillation, QQO, and a serendipitous discovery of what appear to be several vertically and horizontally resolved thermal structures at northern mid-latitudes in October 2009. We report on our observations, inferred temperatures, and our attempt to connect the partial latitude and longitude coverage of our high-spectral resolution observations to midinfrared imaging observations in order to place our 3D temperature retrievals into a global context.
