The Galileo Mission to Jupiter, which arrived in December 1995, provided the first study by
an orbiter, and the first in-situ sampling via an entry probe, of an outer planet atmosphere …

This paper is an introduction to and overview of the accompanying papers in this issue
which give detailed results from the Galileo probe mission to Jupiter, including results from …

During its descent into the upper atmosphere of Jupiter, the Galileo probe transmitted data to
the orbiter for 57.5 min. Accurate measurements of the probe radio frequency, driven by an …

Abstract The Doppler Wind Experiment on the Galileo probe provided the first in situ data on
wind speeds in Jupiter's atmosphere. Initial analysis of the results indicated that wind …

The Galileo probe found the jovian abundance of H2S to be 30% solar at the 8 bar level,
while the abundance of water was less than 3% solar at 12 bars. From 8 to 20 bars, H2S …

The Galileo Probe sampled Jupiter's atmosphere at the edge of a 5-μm hot spot, where it
found very little cloud opacity above the 700 mb level. Only τ= 1–2 at λ= 0.5 μm was inferred …

The atmosphere of Jupiter has a complex circulation which, until recently, has been
observable only at the cloud tops,; the mechanisms driving the winds, and the nature of the …

Telescopic observations and space missions to Jupiter have provided vast information about
Jupiter's cloud level winds, but the depth to which these winds penetrate has remained an …

Measurements by the Galileo probe support the possibility that the zonal winds in Jupiter's
atmosphere originate from convection that takes place in the deep hydrogen-helium interior …

The Galileo probe performed the first in situ measurements of the atmosphere of Jupiter on 7
December 1995. The probe returned data until it reached a depth corresponding to an …
