Description: The image shows the vertical structure of the atmosphere of Jupiter. The temperature is shown as a function of pressure (black line). The approximate altitudes of atmospheric transitions troposphere–stratosphere (tropopause) and stratosphere–thermosphere are shown, as well as tropospheric cloud layers. The information was taken from Seiff, Alvin; Kirk, Don B.; Knight, Tony C.D. et.al. (1998). "Thermal structure of Jupiter's atmosphere near the edge of a 5-μm hot spot in the north equatorial belt". Journal of Geophysical Research 103: 22,857–22,889. DOI:10.1029/98JE01766.
