mikewong version 2.37, submitted 2004-08-26. this revision to the phase II proposal was made because andy lubenow suggested that the unschedulability of the observation could be due to an additional of overhead (15 sec per telescope motion) that is required by the scheduling system but not calculated in APT. i deleted 2 telescope positions. this version has 400 sec unused time in orbit 1 and 467 sec in orbit 2, which should be more than the 210 sec /orbit due to this possible overhead (14 motions times 15 sec each). ----- Submission 1 (Fri Aug 27 03:00:32 GMT 2004) ----- the diagnostic is due to an omission in your database of institutions (see co-I maarten roos-serote in the proposal). Fresh ammonia-ice on Jupiter: The northern equatorial region. The proposed multi-band imaging of one of the most dynamic regions on Jupiter will complement recent space-based infrared datasets and will provide crucial constraints to models of Jovian atmospheric dynamics. NICMOS is sensitive to the jovian troposphere at and above the visible cloud decks. We selected six NICMOS filters with varying levels of atmospheric opacity to observe cloud features as they rotate from the central meridian to the limb, a strategy that will maximize the vertical resolution of our retrievals of cloud heights, haze opacity, and gaseous ammonia concentration. With these filters and the excellent NICMOS spatial resolution (nearly an order of magnitude improvement over Galileo NIMS images of the northern equatorial region), we will determine the smaller-scale structure of fresh NH3 clouds and provide cloud heights as constraints for models of convection and dynamics associated with 5-micron hotspots. HST is essential for this project, since no other observatory can provide the necessary spatial resolution, and no ground-based or space-based telescopes can observe the ammonia bands we have selected.
Scans across the disk of Jupiter, using three filters each in NIC1 and NIC2 as described in the Phase I proposal. The two orbits must be consecutive, so that cloud features can be observed at two different path lengths (a jovian rotaion is about 5 HST orbits). Parallel NIC1 and NIC2 frames are taken for use as sky background frames. No requirement. No requirement.
