| SWI_JUP_LIMB_RASTER_PS_V1 | Investigation of Jupiter’s stratospheric winds, temperature and composition,
targeting one (or more) molecular line(s) at the planetary limb with a 3 resolution in latitude.
The investigation of Jupiter’s stratospheric dynamics (winds) requires measuring the Doppler shifts induced by zonal winds on strong lines. The observations require a very high signalto-
noise ratio ( 100) and a very high spectral resolution (100kHz). Similar requirements for
the investigation of Jupiter’s stratospheric chemical inventory and temperature as a function of
latitude. At each limb position, a short 10-point across-limb scan of the continuum emission
is performed with the CCH to derive a posteriori the instrument pointing. Two CTS spectra are

A coarser spectral resolution (i.e. 500kHz) is sufficient for detections. This mode is nominally
meant for deep integrations and implies numerous repetitions. A short 10-point across-limb
scan of the continuum emission is performed with the CCH to derive a posteriori the instrument

scanning along-track from 30km to +30km of the nadir axis with 9 steps, using the rocker
mechanism ( 4.3 ), and with 1.5 sec integration time for two CTS spectra over 130 channels
(16 bits coding). In all cases, two CCH measurements (20 bits coding) are recorded for 0.1

| UVS_IO_TORUS_STARE | Monitor emissions from the Io torus. Slit aligned parallel with Jupiter's equator. | UVS |

| UVS_GCO_HISTOGRAM_003 | Similar to observation 001 but with increased spectral resolution to achieve < 2 nm resolution between 100 and 200 nm as specified in SciRD | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_JUP_ROLL_SCAN | Point to nadir. Rotate about nadir so that we scan a circle (or a fraction of a circle - e.g. covering the auroral regions) over Jupiter's disk. Rotation rate ~0.1 degree per second | UVS |

| UVS_IO_SCAN | Similar to UVS_DISK_SCAN, but including extra emission lines e.g. from S and Cl. Also requires different spatial binning since Io is more distant | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_SAT_TRANSIT | Measure absorption of Jupiter airglow by satellite atmospheres as they transit Jupiter's disk, to constrain satellite atmospheric composition and variability.
Pointing: nadir (Point slit N-S on Jupiter's disk and wait for moon to transit) | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_EUR_SCAN_HIGH_RES_OBSOLETE | Similar to UVS_DISK_SCAN but higher resolution.
pointing: start at -1.5 satellite radii from the satellite centre, scan in the direction perpendicular to the slit across the disk, ending at +1.5 satellite radii from the centre | UVS |
