We have two primary objectives. We propose first 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 positioned but data-limited Galileo Orbiter. Our second objective is to map the latitudinal extent of the residual stratospheric haze from the SL-9 impacts in 1994. Both goals make use of the wide-field option of the WF/PC2 instrument, with filters and observing sequences chosen to optimize the determination of vertical cloud structure, especially residual SL-9 haze which is apparent in UV images obtained as recently as June, 1996. Our observations are targeted to broaden the perspective of the spatially-, temporally-, and spectrally-limited sampling of Jupiter by Galileo, thus providing a strategic supplement to the atmospheric science derived from the Galileo mission. In addition, the high-spatial-resolution global coverage provided by HST images provides an essential component in a larger, comprehensive research campaign to acquire and analyze synoptic observations of Jupiter's atmosphere in order to understand the planet's dynamic meteorology. Our observing sequences will be merged with those proposed separately by Beebe et al. to elucidate questions about Jupiter's dynamics in order to integrate and optimize each investigation.
