Spectro-imaging observations of Jupiter’s 2 μm auroral emission. II: Thermospheric winds
International audience Infrared observations obtained in 1999-2000 with the Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS/BEAR) instrument at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) are used to infer the jovian wind velocity in the north pole auroral region. The measured Doppler shifts of the H 2 and H3+ li...
