Rohini Giles

I am a postdoctoral fellow at NASA JPL, where I am a member of the Planetary and Exoplanetary Atmospheres group. My research is focussed on Jupiter's atmosphere.

I use mid-infrared observations from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes to investigate the composition, temperature profile and cloud structure of the jovian atmosphere. I am focussing on a unique region of Jupiter’s infrared spectrum known as the “5-micron window”, which allows us to look through the topmost cloud layers and explore the atmospheric processes at work deep within the gas giant.
