This is an image of Jupiter reconstructed from the NIMS sequences G2JNGLOMOS01 .. G2JNGLOMOS06. These images were re-projected in Oxford from data calibrated by the the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena. Four wavelengths are shown are as follows.
Top left: 1.61 microns. This is a region of minimum gas opacity and so we see reflected sunlight from all cloud levels. The Great Red Spot on the bottom left is clearly visible.
Top right: 2.17 microns. This is a region of strong gaseous absorption and thus we see mainly reflected sunlight from stratospheric haze. This is clearly most abundance above the Great Red Spot and the North Equatorial Belt.
Bottom left: 3.01 microns. Another strong gaseous absoprtion region but less so than 2.17 microns. Hence we see some sunlight reflected from lower cloud decks in addition to that reflected from the haze.
Bottom right : 4.99 microns. This is a region of minumum gas opacity and between breaks in the clouds we see thermal emission from deep in the Jovian atmosphere, down to pressure levels of 4-6 bars.
