Scientific paper

Discrete cloud features in the southern hemisphere of Uranus are generally much deeper than those in the northern hemisphere and likely of a different composition. The most prominent of the southern features is the Berg, which has been observed since 1994 in Hubble Space Telescope images ([5], [6]). Here we use the ratio of spatial variations in brightness in 2007 HST images at CCD wavelengths taken with filters of differing penetration depths to estimate the pressure level of the Berg to be near 2 bars. This is in good agreement with pressures estimated at near-IR wavelengths [1] and is compatible with particles of condensed H2S if the H2S mixing ratio is 10-7 or greater [4].
