JUPITER'S AURORA IS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE TOTAL ENERGY DRIVING CHEMISTRY AND HEATING IN THOSE PORTIONS OF THE ATMOSPHERE THAT ARE ACCESSIBLE TO REMOTE SENSING. THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IN UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF THE AURORAE IS TO PROPERLY UNDERSTAND HOW AURORA DRIVES THE STRUCTURE AND CHEMISTRY OF THE AURORAL ATMOSPHERE INTO DIFFERENT CONDITIONS THAN THE QUIESCENT ATMOSPHERE OUTSIDE THE AURORALLY ACTIVE REGIONS. INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY USING THE CIRS INSTRUMENT IS THE PRIMARY TOOL IN THE CASSINI MISSION TO UNDERSTAND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION IN ATMOSPHERES AS WELL AS TO REMOTELY DETECT THE VERTICAL STRUCTURE OF ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE. MUCH CIRS DATA FROM THE CASSINI FLYBY IN 2000-2001 REMAINS UNEXPLOITED. IN ADDITION YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND DEVELOPMENT DURING THE CASSINI TOUR OF SATURN HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVED CALIBRATIONS AND DATA REDUCTION FOR CIRS. THIS WORK WILL INCLUDE REVISING THE CALIBRATED CASSINI DATA SETS FOR JUPITER A TASK THAT IS OUTSIDE CASSINI MISSION OPERATIONS. THIS WORK IS PARTICULARLY TIMELY IN LIGHT OF THE ARRIVAL OF THE JUNO SPACECRAFT AT JUPITER IN JULY 2016. JUNO WILL HAVE ACCESS TO AURORAL ENERGY DEPOSITION PATTERNS AND TOTAL ENERGY INPUT BY MEANS OF ULTRAVIOLET AND NEAR-INFRARED IMAGING AND SPECTROSCOPY AS WELL AS SAMPLING THE ENERGETIC PARTICLE POPULATIONS PRECIPITATING INTO ATMOSPHERIC REGIONS THAT THE SPACECRAFT WILL OBSERVE. JUNO HAS NO MID-INFRARED CAPABILITY AT ALL AND THUS NO CAPACITY TO INVESTIGATE THE DEEP ATMOSPHERE RESPONSE TO ENERGY DEPOSITION. THE CASSINI CIRS DATA WHILE NOT CONTEMPORANEOUS PROVIDE THE MOST POWERFUL MEANS TO ACCESS THE VARIABILITY AND PROPERTIES OF THE AURORAL STRATOSPHERE IN ORDER TO INTERPRET OBSERVATIONS BY JUNO AS WELL AS GROUNDBASED OBSERVATIONS IN SUPPORT OF JUNO INCLUDING MID-IR SPECTROSCOPY AND IMAGING.
