Modelling of Europa's plumes

There are now three types of atmospheric observations suggesting the existence of plumes at Europa's surface. These plumes are of great interest because they present a unique opportunity to probe Europa's interior, which may be outgassing. However, the origins, composition, and frequency of plumes remain unconstrained. The present set of observations are sparse as well as poorly resolved spatially and temporally.The objectives of this work are to combine the model of cryomagma ascent at Europa with the exospheric model in order to provide constraints on the possible evolution and structure of a plume when generated by an eruption.
