Jupiter Energetic Particle Detector Instrument (JEDI) Barry Mauk explains that measuring high-energy particles with JEDI will help us
understand how the energy of Jupiter's rotation is being funneled into its magnetosphere and atmosphere.

Microwave Radiometer (MWR) Mike Janssen discusses Juno's microwave radiometer, which will measure radio waves from Jupiter's deep atmosphere that tell us how much water is there and how material is moving far below the cloud tops.

Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (UVS) Randy Gladstone explains how seeing Jupiter’s auroras in UV helps us
understand Jupiter’s upper atmosphere and the particles that cause the
auroras.

Waves Bill Kurth explains how the Waves instrument will measure radio and plasma waves in
Jupiter’s magnetosphere, helping us understand the interactions between the
magnetic field, the atmosphere and the magnetosphere. Waves will also pay
particular attention to activity associated with auroras.
