Abstract
⺠Time evolution of July 2009 Jovian impact cloud analyzed from consistent IRTF data over 7 weeks. ⺠Mie particles ⼠0.9 μm radius and imaginary refractive index 0.01-0.015 agree with previous papers. ⺠Dissipation timescales for first 26 days 4-16 times shorter than last 23 days. ⺠Opacity timescales in the near-infrared consistent with visible wavelengths. ⺠Dissipation by meridional shear of zonal wind, not vertical shear nor sedimentation/coagulation.
