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 positioned but data-limited Galileo Orbiter. Our Cycle 6 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 imagery 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. The wide-field option of the WF/PC2 instrument will be used with filters and observing sequences chosen to optimize the determination of vertical cloud structure. Additionally, 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. Features to be observed within our global imagery include not only those slated to be scrutinized by Galileo during Cycle 6 --- the Great Red Spot and a 5-micron hot spot --- but also important contextual features and surrounding territory which the data-limited spacecraft simply can not observe.
