Abstract
A Multifrequency Microwave Radiometer is on board the Juno mission due to arrive at Jupiter on July 4, 2016. With wavelengths distributed from 1.37 to 50 cm (frequencies from 600 MHz to 22 GHz), the MWR will sound Jupiter's atmosphere from the cloud tops to as deep as the 1000-bar pressure level. Presently unknown properties of the subcloud atmosphere will be determined, including dynamical features and the deep abundances of O, N, and S, the latter critical to the understanding of Jupiter's origin.
