Proximate humid and dry regions in Jupiter's atmosphere indicate complex local meteorology.
Models of Jupiter's formation and structure predict that its atmosphere is enriched in oxygen, relative to the Sun, and that consequently water clouds should be present globally near the 5-bar pressure level. Past attempts to confirm these predictions have led to contradictory results; in parti...
