Scientific paper
The primary scientific objective of this proposal is to continue the investigation to determine the state and long-term evolution of the dynamical and cloud regimes in Jupiter's atmosphere, with special emphasis on the region between +/- 15 degrees planetocentric latitude. This objective is an essential part of a larger research effort which includes the acquisition and analysis of data from the Galileo orbiter and probe, and the analysis of ground-based and Voyager data. The goal of this effort is to understand the general meteorology of Jupiter's visible atmosphere and the nature of the transport processes that occur within it. Filters and observing sequences have been chosen to allow us to evaluate the extent to which the WFPC2 can be utilized to characterize the spatial and temporal variations in horizontal motions and to discriminate vertical structure. An observing sequence consisting of multicolor observations for two rotations of the planet is requested in March-May 1995 for the post-come t impact era. Due to the red-blindness of the Voyager and the limited data rate from Galileo, HST/WFPC2 is the prime instrument to characterize the state of the Jovian atmosphere before and during the Galileo probe entry epoch. The observat ions in this proposal will help to define whether the probe data are typical of the latitude of entry (6.57 +/-0.5 deg.planetocentric latitude) and the extent t o which they can be extrapolated to other latitudes.
