Abstract:
The vertical distribution and evolution of trace gases in planetary
atmospheres are key observables for understanding the dynamics of the
atmosphere. Radio observations, such as observations from the
Microwave Radiometer (MWR) on board of Juno and observations from the
earth-based telescopes such as the Very Large Array (VLA) are our
current best tools to understand the sub-cloud structure on the giant
planets. However, inverting radio observations to recover the
atmospheric structure is non-trivia. Based on the commonalities
between different atmospheric model frameworks, we show surprising
results of what we learned about Jupiter's atmosphere and address the
implications for the atmosphere of giant planets in general.
