Since 2016, the Juno Microwave Radiometer (MWR), has been observing Jupiter’s atmosphere at frequencies of 0.6, 1.2, 2.6, 5.2, 10.0, and 22 GHz. The resulting data set has dramatically altered our understanding of giant planet atmospheres. MWR measurements of Jupiter’s atmosphere have yielded surprising conclusions about Jupiter’s temperature and composition vs depth and latitude, characterized multiple storms in 3 dimensions, and shed light on the global circulation. We will summarize some of the most important findings from MWR, with an emphasis on the most recent results, and describe work in progress as well as future plans. We will also briefly describe how to make use of this valuable data set.
