Abstract
The chemical processes responsible for the formation of minor trace species and the structure of clouds in Jupiter’s atmosphere are discussed. Comparisons with relevant Galileo Probe and Orbiter measurements give important new insight into chemistry, thermodynamics, and meteorology in the atmosphere. A brief overview of the bulk atmospheric composition is included since it forms the basis for the chemical and cloud formation processes.
