Io’s SO2 and NaCl Wind Fields from ALMA

Io’s SO2 and NaCl Wind Fields from ALMA

We present spatially resolved measurements of SO _2 and NaCl winds on Io at several unique points in its orbit: before and after eclipse and at maximum eastern and western elongation. The derived wind fields represent a unique case of meteorology in a rarified, volcanic atmosphere. Through the use o...
