- The upper ammonia clouds visible at Jupiter's surface are organized in a dozen zonal bands parallel to the equator and are bounded by powerful zonal atmospheric flows (winds) known as jets, exhibiting a phenomenon known as atmospheric super-rotation. The bands alternate in color: the dark bands are called belts, while light ones are called zones.

Jupiter's variable radiation belts. Close to Jupiter, the planet's rings and small moons absorb high-energy particles (energy above 10 keV) from the radiation belts. This creates noticeable gaps in the belts' spatial distribution and affects the decimetric synchrotron radiation.

Feb 6, 2020 · It is Jupiter’s combination of a strong magnetic field, Io’s prodigious source, and the magnetic coupling of charged particles to the planet’s rapid (10-hour) spin that drives the intense...
Apr 6, 2023 · The highest fluxes of energetic particles are found in doughnut-shaped belts around Jupiter’s equator, which have been studied by radio astronomers since the 1960s – producing loud bursts of radio noise. The problem for Juice mission planners is that heading to Jupiter’s icy moons means passing through the radiation belts as well.
