The design of our Cycle 3 program for Jupiter and Saturn is driven by the spectroscopic results from Cycle 1 observations of Jupiter, and from wind field analysis of the Saturn Target-of-Opportunity and Jupiter Cycle 0 WF/PC data. Early analysis of the Cycle 1 FOS spectra has revealed variation that is dependent on latitude as well as the viewing aspect of the region within the aperture. Because of the greater sensitivity of the FOS these results were obtained with smaller apertures than had been possible with previously available instruments. Several of the FOS results were unexpected and will provide constraints for studying dynamical phenomena in the atmospheres of these planets. We are requesting specific observations with the FOS and coordinated multicolor observations with the WF/PC to relate the variation in the aerosol properties of the atmospheres to the morphological features and possible changes in zonal wind speed. The data will help to constrain the meridional circulation and local dynamics. The proposed sequences will add significantly to the content of the data base that will be acquired in proposal 2560. No facility other than HST has the spatial resolution and sensitivity in the FUV to obtain the spectra requested in this study.
