Junocam Perijove 26 Images

[Bjorn Jonsson]

An experimental anaglyph created by using methane image PJ26_25 to construct a digital elevation model (DEM) of Jupiter's cloudtops. An enhanced mosaic of images PJ26_24 and PJ26_26 was then draped over the DEM:



Two YouTube videos where we fly over the DEM:

Vertical elevation differences are greatly exaggerated, probably at least by a factor 5 and possibly more than 10 but this is difficult to estimate accurately.

Two stills from the animations:



As expected, in general bright clouds are higher in the atmosphere than darker clouds. An interesting feature is the many 'walls' of bright clouds, some of which encircle circular or elliptical spots/vortices. Some of the 'walls' have an orange tint. It is possible that at least in some cases this orange color really is due to a high altitude orange haze and that the 'walls' themselves are white
