Simulations of the Jupiter atmosphere as observed by the JIRAMJuno instrument

The Jovian InfraRed Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) is a spectroimager operating in the 25 micron range to be flown on the NASA Juno mission to Jupiter. An extensive series of tests on our direct radiative transfer codes is currently in progress, as first step in the development of analysis tools for the actual instrument measurements. We report in this work our results in two areas of interest: a. modelling of methane opacity b. validation of correlated transmittances concept in the Jupiter case.
