Five main observations modes used by SWI for Jupiter atmospheric investigations. Their use mainly depends on the distance to the planet, as depicted by the color code: yellow, green and blue for modes to be used when JUICE is at distance d <25RJ, 25RJ<d<35RJ, and d>35RJ, respectively. The along-track and cross-track mechanisms of the instrument enable pointing independently from the spacecraft to build various patterns (stares, crosses, scans, and maps). The 2D map mode can be set such that meridional or zonal scans are performed. The limb stares and rasters use a limb-finding procedure at each latitude in which the continuum is recorded over several tens of positions from nadir to sky to reconstruct a posteriori the pointing of the long integration for accurate rotation removal in wind measurements
