[11.15] Vertical Transport in the Jovian Upper Troposphere: Insights from Phosphine Submillimeter Observations

M. Allen (JPL/Caltech), A. Y. T. Lee (Caltech), E. Serabyn (JPL), E. W. Weisstein (Wolfram Research)

One-dimensional coupled photochemistry/transport model simulations of the phosphine profile in Jupiter's upper troposphere are compared with submillimeter observations. Adopting a stagnant atmosphere between 100 and approximately 400 mbar relative to the rate of mixing at higher pressures results in the best model simulations of the profiles derived from the observations.
