We propose to investigate the vertical aerosol structure of Jupiter's atmosphere, and its spatial and temporal variability, in conjunction with nearly simultaneous observations by the uniquely well positions but data-rate limited Galileo Orbiter. Our observations are targeted to broaden the perspective of the spatially-, temporally-, and spectrally-limited sampling of Jupiter by Galileo, providing a strategic supplement to the atmospheric science derived from the Galileo mission. The high spatial resolution global coverage provided by HST imaging provides an essentially component in a larger, comprehensive research campaign to acquire and analyze synoptic observations of Jupiter's atmosphere in order to understand its dynamic meteorology. Besides the 5-Mum hot spots, brown barges and the Great Red Spot to be observed by Galileo synoptically on orbits 22 and 24, we will also characterize the evolution of two features that were observed previously by Galileo: a residual stratospheric haze remaining from the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collision and a newly formed white oval. features that were
