Degrees of freedom for signal (top) and Shannon information content (bottom) for MWR sounding of Saturn’s atmosphere using a variable number of channels between 0.3 and 300 cm and different incidence angles. The region of this parameter space corresponding to Juno MWR is identified explicitly. We note that Juno MWR observes >7 incidence angles, but for the relevant noise levels, the additional information provided by each further measured angle decreases past this point).
