During the early period of 1982, when Jupiter was in opposition at a distance of 4.434 AU from earth, drawings of the planet's different cloud belts were made. These drawings included features such as the Red Spot, and White Oval Spots located in the south tropical zone. Jupiter was found to be much less active than in 1980-81; however, the periods of eleven different streams were determined. In the southern temperate zone, white spots were found to be in an easterly upstream direction from the three white ovals, and an increased speed was detected in the south-south temperate stream. Two White Oval Spots located on the South Temperate Belt were found to be decreasing in speed, and to be separating from each other. A South Tropical Zone perturbation observed in 1979-80 continued to exist, and several cloud motions were noticed on the circumference of the Red Spot which continued to travel toward the decreasing longitudes. Activity in the region east of the Red Spot seemed to decrease despite great intensity within the South Equatorial Belt. A veiled Equatorial Zone showed the presence of weak plumes. Northern tropical current activity remained comparably strong to that of 1980-81; and the northern temperate regions remained generally calm but exhibited areas of isolated activity.
