Abstract: Jupiter's atmosphere is famous for its storm systems, such as the Great Red Spot, which has been active for more than 300 years. What drives Jupiter's turbulent weather has long been a matter of debate. New images from the Galileo spacecraft indicate that moist convection — familiar from thunderstorms on Earth — transports energy upwards through the clouds.
