1.0 KEY QUESTIONS:

The UVS atmospheric observations during the Jupiter tour attempt to answer several key questions related to stratospheric aerosol, airglow, and auroral studies. The observational goals and strategy, combined with Galileo's capabilities based upon the Phase 2 flight software, will permit observations which can answer these questions. They are:

  1. To improve our understanding of stratospheric solar heating and residual mean meridional circulation: what are the horizontal and vertical distributions and the spectra of UV absorbers in the stratosphere?
  2. To understand stratospheric meridional circulation: what is the meridional variation of ammonia and acetylene at high resolution and what can be said of their zonal distributions?
  3. To understand the regional and global UV energetics with its temporal variation: what is the morphology of the UV airglow regional and global features as they vary in time? What is the global constituent distribution and its long-term variation (with and without solar influence) as shown in airglow (electroglow, nightglow) and auroral data? What is the regional airglow (electroglow, nightglow) and auroral variability on short and long time-scales with and without solar influence?
  4. To understand the regional and global UV energetics with its spatial distribution: what are the UV airglow characteristics of local features at the highest possible resolution? What are the UV airglow characteristics of the Jovian limb? What is the shape of the hydrogen limb-darkening curve? What influences the hydrogen bulge?

2.0 OBSERVATIONAL GOALS:

The UVS atmospheric observations will be conducted during Jupiter approach and during each Jovian orbit with the exception of the non-targeted orbit 5. The principal goal of these observations will be to answer these key scientific questions as well as to support the Atmospheres Working Group observations where possible.

3.0 GALILEO CAPABILITIES:

The capabilities for Galileo to conduct the UVS atmospheric observations are outlined in the Phase 2 Level 3 spacecraft requirements document. These capabilities, along with the telecommunication downlink assumed by that document, are used in the observations described in detail below.

4.0 OBSERVATIONAL STRATEGY:

The general UVS atmospheric observational strategy will be to conduct the highest priority UVS/AWG observations using spacecraft resources (bits-to-ground, tape usage, tape start-stop cycles, real- time science downlink, propellant for science turns, and observing time) followed by lower priority observations as resources permit.

Observations which will address the science questions are based upon the following detailed prioritized observation descriptions in section 5.0. Following that section, Figure 1 graphically depicts each of the observations on the disk of Jupiter. A summary of the observations is shown in the spreadsheet entitled "Preliminary UVS/AWG/OPG Observations" which outlines the observation time and bits-to-the-ground for each of the observations during the tour. The tour is then graphically described by figures showing each orbit's geometry, the location of the UVS/AWG observations, and other useful orbit information. Finally, the observations are summarized in the attached OAPel forms.

The observations can be grouped into general science area categories. These are Stratospheric aerosol, Chemistry of the stratosphere, Airglow, Auroral, Calibration, and Targets of opportunity observations. The categories are described below where the capitalized acronyms are the 6-character generic observation names described in detail in section 5.0.

4.1 Stratospheric aerosol observations will map the horizontal distribution, UV spectrum, and vertical distribution of UV absorbers in Jupiter's stratosphere and upper troposphere. These measurements enable an understanding of solar heating and the residual mean meridional circulation of the stratosphere. Aerosol properties for small-scale features will be measured, mostly as part of the feature track, FUVFEA, and stratospheric chemistry studies, ACELAT and BRTMAP. Orbits using the partial or full stratospheric aerosol observation sets are G1, G2, C3, E4, E6, G7, G8, C9, and C10. During JA/J0 the FUVPES observation will ridealong with other remote sensing instruments for a study of the Probe Entry Site.

4.2 Chemistry of the stratosphere observations (hydrocarbon chemistry and transport tracer studies) are accomplished with a complementary set consisting of ACELAT and, to a very limited degree, CENMAP, EWMAPS, and NEWS. The UVS will map latitudinal gradients of ammonia and acetylene in Jupiter's stratosphere. The meridional gradient of these two constituents will provide unique information on the stratospheric meridional circulation. A dense grid of measurements with good spatial resolution (i.e., an orientation with the UVS slit aligned parallel to latitude bands) is required. Orbits using the partial or full stratospheric chemistry complementary observation set are G1, G2, C3, E4, E6, G7, G8, C9, and C10.

4.3 Airglow observations are generally grouped into the complementary observation sets of FUVFEA, CENMAP, BRTMAP, FIXTMD/FIXTMB, FIXLON, EWMAPS, and NEWS in each orbit. These measurements perform the following studies: global coverage of hydrogen bulge and the distribution of other atomic and molecular species using the technique of observing a fixed local time over a Jupiter rotation; latitudinal and meridional coverage of the H limb- darkening curves using East-West maps during short time intervals; global coverage of H, H 2 , and other atomic and molecular species' abundance using N-S, E-W maps for measuring latitudinal and meridional brightside emissions; regional time variation of Io hot spot and other regional features by observing at fixed longitudes for one-half Jupiter rotation; and high spatial resolution of local features in the feature track campaigns. The DRKNEW observation, which also observes nightglow and global H distribution without solar influence, is done separately at solar occultation. Orbits using the full airglow complementary observation set are G1, G2, G8, C9, and C10 while all other orbits use a subset of these observations. 4.4 Auroral observations are generally grouped into the complementary observation sets of AURMAP, AURVAR, DRKMAP, and FIXLON in most orbits. These measurements combine midnight/noon asymmetry mapping, variability in the auroral darkside, long-term zonal survey mapping, and high temporal resolution studies of the variability of local auroral features. Orbits using the full auroral complementary observation set are G1, G2, E4, E6, G8, C9, and C10 while all other orbits use a subset of these observations.

4.5 Calibration is done early and late in the mission with star calibrations on previously observed targets using the STRCAL observation. The star k-Vel is a particularly suitable, though not the only, candidate. The radiation environment on the Jupiter approach is also characterized with five RIMs of recorded data during JA/J0 using the RADMON observation.

4.6 Targets of opportunity may exist and will be identified on a case- by- case basis.

4.7 Additional data is required through AACS-provided pointing information, cooperative images on some observations, and the use of science turns to achieve some measurements. Each of these are listed within the specific observation below.

MEASUREMENT SET PRIORITIES

The UVS measurement set priorities, listed by acronym and fully described in the measurement set element description section, are listed. The recorded observations reflect the agreements made between discipline working groups as to bits-to-ground and tape track allocations. The realtime observations include the highest priority UVS activities (designed to minimize bits-to-ground and tape track allocation resources) and will use realtime bits-to-ground during the encounter period in TBD realtime formats.
