论文摘要
这份白皮书是为了支持NASA的2023-2032行星十年调查而写的，概述了10个主要问题，这些问题侧重于塑造天王星和海王星大气的起源，进化和当前过程。在接下来的十年中，优先考虑这些问题将大大提高我们对这一独特的行星的理解，这是自Voyager Flybys以来基本上没有探索的。研究冰巨头的气氛将极大地了解我们对整个太阳系的起源和演变的理解，除了越来越多的含有海王星质量行星的超球星系。
This white paper, written in support of NASA's 2023-2032 Planetary Decadal Survey, outlines 10 major questions that focus on the origin, evolution, and current processes that shape the atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune. Prioritizing these questions over the next decade will greatly improve our understanding of this unique class of planets, which have remained largely unexplored since the Voyager flybys. Studying the atmospheres of the Ice Giants will greatly inform our understanding of the origin and evolution of the solar system as a whole, in addition to the growing number of exoplanetary systems that contain Neptune-mass planets.
