• W4296997383 abstract "&lt;p&gt;The Juno Microwave Radiometer (MWR) has extended our knowledge of the structure and composition of Jupiter's atmosphere down to several hundred bars, revealing meridional variability at great depths (e.g. Li et al. 2017, Fletcher et al. 2021). It has revealed that some cyclonic and anticyclonic vortices may have roots at depths of hundreds of bars of pressure (Bolton et al. 2022), but 5-&amp;#181;m hot spots and associated plumes are restricted to shallow depths above the water cloud (Fletcher et al. 2021). We report ongoing work on evolution of axisymmetric bands, concentrating on two regions where large-scale changes have been observed in the visible and infrared.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;One of these is the Equatorial Zone (EZ), for which Figure 1 illustrates a dramatic color change. The color change in the central component (EZc, ~3&amp;#176;S &amp;#8211; 1&amp;#176;N, planetocentric latitude) is more prominent than the northern component (EZn, ~2&amp;#176; - 6&amp;#176;N). &amp;#160;This change began in 2018, and by 2019 was as prominent as shown in 2021. In near-infrared bands of strong gaseous absorption, the EZc reflectivity increased dramatically (Fig. 2), but only temporarily for the EZn.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Another region is the northern component of the North Equatorial Belt (NEBn, ~12&amp;#176;N to 15&amp;#176;N), whose change from a visibly dark to a bright region is also illustrated in Figure 1, with the southern component (NEBs, ~7&amp;#176;N to 11&amp;#176;N) remaining its typical dark color.&amp;#160; Figure 3 shows that this color is associated with a remarkable drop of its 5-&amp;#181;m brightness which dropped down to the faint emissions of the nearby cloudy and visually bright zones. This implies a major increase in the opacity of 0.7-5 bar clouds that are similar but more extreme than the quasi-periodic northward expansions of the NEB (Fletcher et al. 2017). This transformation took place in early 2021 when Jupiter was in solar conjunction.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The very preliminary results of our initial examination of MWR observations (Fig. 4) plot antenna temperatures derived using averages over all longitudes sensed in which the center of the field of view lay within specified latitude ranges. Observations were selected only if 99% or more of the field of view included the planet and the emission angle was limited to 65&amp;#176; or less, after which they were converted to a nadir-equivalent emission using limb-darkening models that were fit to every latitude and each channel. All observations were made at close approaches of the spacecraft to Jupiter, known as &amp;#8216;perijoves&amp;#8217; or PJs. Many perijoves between 2019 and 2022 did not contain any measurements of these regions meeting those selection criteria, due to unfavorable spacecraft pointing. Exceptions included special spacecraft orientations.&amp;#160; &amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The EZc appears invariable in time, but the EZn underwent a ~7K drop in Channel-3 antenna temperatures - sensitive to conditions near ~9 bars - starting in early 2017, reaching a minimum in late 2017, then returning to its original values by early 2019.&amp;#160; Similar variability is evident in Channel 4, sensitive to the ~3-bar level, and a smaller one in Channel 5, which is sensitive to the ~1.5-bar level.&amp;#160; No change is detectable in Channel 6, sensitive to the ~0.7-bar level. The 2017 temperature drop has no obvious counterpart in reflected sunlight, although its &amp;#8220;recovery&amp;#8221; occurs during the reflectivity changes in 2019 (Figs. 1-2). To link the two, one must devise a causal relationship between a short-lived variation of absorber, likely gaseous ammonia, at 1.5-9 bars at 2016-2019 between 2&amp;#176;N and 6&amp;#176;N, and conditions at higher altitudes over a wider latitude range.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If the NEBn variability between 2020 and 2021 (Figs. 1, 3) implies an increase of ammonia absorption, we would expect a decrease in antenna temperatures between our last trustworthy observation in 2019 April and observations in late 2021. This is indeed the case at 0.7 bars, represented by the 6-7K drop in Channel-6 antenna temperatures for the NEBn. This is also present in Channel 5 as a ~5K drop, but it is not detectable above the noise in the deeper-sounding channels, so this is not substantially present at pressures higher than ~1.5 bars. A ~5K drop in antenna temperatures in late 2016 is followed by a slower rise to its previous range by the end of 2017 in both Channels 5 and 6. Other channels do not show this variability, so this is another &amp;#8220;shallow&amp;#8221; phenomenon with no obvious connection to changes in cloud reflectivity.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We will continue to examine variability in cloud reflectivity associated with these changes, &amp;#160;observe with increasingly favorable geometries for the next few perijoves, and examine other latitudes for variability.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;References:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Bolton, et al. 2021. &lt;em&gt;Science&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;374&lt;/strong&gt;, 968-972.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Fletcher, et al. 2017. &lt;em&gt;Geophys.
