There are three species of condensed materials (H2O,
NH4SH, and NH3) and three species of
condensible volatiles (H2O, H2S, and
NH3) in Jupiter's atmosphere (see Section
1). In order to present their distribution
simultaneously, we employ a visualization technique which can be
called an "RGB composite". The mixing ratios of H2O
ice, NH4SH ice, and NH3 ice are
represented using red, green, and blue color tones, respectively, and
that of multiple composition cloud is represented by a superposed plot
of the three colors (Fig. 2.4, top panels). The mixing ratios of
H2O vapor, H2S vapor, and
NH3 vapor are plotted in the same manner
(Fig. 2.4,
bottom panels). This technique reveals not only the amount of cloud
and condensible volatiles but also their composition.
