We propose observations of Jupiter with global coverage at high resolution to quantify changes in its atmosphere during and following the global upheaval. Only HST has the capability to obtain images with enough spatial resolution and contrast to extract velocity fields {we will use our newly developed technique to accomplish this}, and with WFC3 we can image Jupiter in its entirety in a single exposure. We are in particular interested in the Red Oval BA: Will the Oval be long-lived, remain red, or turn white again, disappear? Both the merger of its precursors, and change in color has never before been witnessed. The Great Red Spot: This storm system appears to decrease in size and has become rounder, both as derived from its associated cloud deck, but also from its potential vorticity, a more dynamically-relevant quantity. How will the GRS evolve? Will it swallow the new vortices detected in amateur images at this same latitude band? How will this effect the potential vorticity? In addition, we hope to understand Disturbances and stagnation points, both of which were detected during the present global upheaval: are these cyclonic regions, can they spawn anticyclones {as suggested by amateur images}?;
