| 41. | Surprisingly, the illuminated and dark poles, and most of the planet, exhibit nearly the same temperatures at the cloud tops.
|
| 42. | None of the astronomers knew specifically what would occur when the fragments plunged into Jupiter's pink and orange cloud tops.
|
| 43. | Thermal infrared ( IR ) sensors record a channel around 11 micron wavelength and primarily give information about cloud tops.
|
| 44. | Early the next day, the structure of the hurricane quickly deteriorated as convection became asymmetric and cloud tops warmed significantly.
|
| 45. | Meteorologist Mark Lander thought that cloud tops were similar to several James Franklin, a meteorologist at the National Hurricane Center, said:
|
| 46. | None of the water that was suspected to reside 30 to 60 miles below the planet's cloud tops is yet evident.
|
| 47. | Additionally, the parallax between the two views can be used to determine cloud top and aerosol plume heights using geometric means.
|
| 48. | Also, the patterns and colors of Jovian cloud tops might be altered, and atmospheric ripples spreading from the impacts might be detectable.
|
| 49. | On comparatively rare occasions, convective lift can be powerful enough to penetrate the tropopause and push the cloud top into the stratosphere.
|
| 50. | As the Star Lab researchers have shown, an electric field suddenly appears for a moment between the cloud top and the upper atmosphere.
