SWI_JUP_LIMB_RASTER_PS_V1Investigation 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 recorded for 60 seconds over 10000 channels (16 bits coding), and two CCH measurements (20 bits coding) are recorded for 0.1 second. Position-switch calibration method.SWI

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 pointing.

In all cases, two CCH measurements (20 bits coding) are recorded for 0.1 second. During GCO, this implies that two CCH measurements are separated by 1/2 beam at 1200 GHz.
