TITLE: Driving convection in Jupiter: the role of condensation and other sources of heat ABSTRACT: Jupiter's weather layer is a thin region in the planet's atmosphere where the planet's iconic clouds reside. This region is host to a number of interesting phenomenon from the planet's banded zonal flows, to the asymmetric distribution of lightning strikes (Brown 2018), and persistent polar vortex crystals (Adriani 2018. Moisture plays an important energetic role in this region, with the condensati
