The atmospheric dynamics of Jupiter are dominated by strong zonal winds engulfing the planet. Since the first gravity measurements of Juno at Jupiter, the low-degree gravity harmonics (J 3 -J 10 ) have been used to determine the depth and structure of the zonal winds observed at the cloud level, limiting the inference on the deep flows to the...

Context. Reconciling models of Jupiter's interior with measurements of the atmospheric composition still poses a significant challenge. Interior models favour a subsolar or solar abundance of heavy elements, Z , whereas atmospheric measurements suggest a supersolar abundance. One potential solution may be to account for the presence of an...

Context . The Juno mission has provided measurements of Jupiter's gravity field with an outstanding level of accuracy, leading to better constraints on the interior of the planet. Improving our knowledge of the internal structure of Jupiter is key to understanding its formation and evolution but is also important in the framework of exoplanet...
