| Abstract: |
JIRAM instrument for Juno mission will return the first high-spatial resolution IR spectro-image data of Jupiter hot spots two decades after the historical NIMS-Galileo observations. A formal retrieval scheme based on the Bayesian formalism is presented, providing a quantitative assessment of retrieval errors and vertical resolution for derived profiles of water vapour and ammonia mixing ratios. Computations are performed on the basis of JIRAM noise equivalent radiance, spectral range and resolution. Another IR spectro-imager (VIRHIS) is being proposed as payload component of the EJSM mission orbiters. This instrument will provide complimentary results due to the different s/c orbits and improved spectral resolution. |
