Jupiter: Features

Scientific paper

The drift rates for 80 different features in over a dozen Jovian currents are reported. Over a dozen dark elongated features (barges) appeared in the NEB before Aug. 2001. Oval BA passed the Great Red Spot on Feb. 25, 2002; during this passage, oval BA did not change in altitude but it increased in area and was displaced 1.5° south. Based on photoelectric measurements, the selected normalized magnitudes of Jupiter are: B(1,0) = -8.55±0.02, V(1,0) = -9.40±0.02, R(1,0) = -9.87±0.01 and I(1,0) = -9.77±0.02. All of the belts and zones had albedos in visible light of between 0.4 and 0.7.
