Results of the analysis of Voyager measurements of divergence and inferred vertical velocity of convective cloud features in the Northern Hemisphere of Saturn are presented here. The winds in this region have been measured by tracking the cloud elements observed in sequences of images. The derived zonal winds imply that these convective features reside at the maximum of strong easterly jets centered at 41 deg N planetocentric latitude and that the jet is barotropically unstable. The divergences and local dynamics of the Saturn features are found to differ from those of the Jovian equatorial plumes.
