Several images of Jupiter are presented which were recorded on Mt. Maidanak during 1981-1983 and were then processed by coherent-optical filtering. A resolution of 0.3-0.4 arcsec was achieved, which made possible the effective study of the global dynamics of the Jovian atmosphere. Owing to the high angular resolution, a stable zonal structure was detected in the near-polar regions which was not observed by the Voyagers. Results of absolute photometry of Jupiter in June 1983 are presented, and it is found that the reflectivity of the main zones and belts of the planet during 1982-1983 had a tendency to increase in comparison with that in 1978-1981.
