Scientific paper

We report preliminary results regarding the meteorology of Jupiter's equatorial hotspots and plumes using Cassini imagery. Cassini obtained an extensive imaging data set of Jupiter's equatorial region during its approach of the planet in late 2000. The 3-month observational baseline enabled the detailed analysis of meteorological features within these latitudes. We conducted a census of the infrared hotspots and equatorial plumes observed during the campaign by compiling a record of their sizes and locations. We also documented unique meteorological events that occur within these latitudes, such as hotspot generation and merger. Additional analysis tools, such as periodograms and automated feature tracking, will allow us to examine flow patterns and their connection with equatorial wavenumber modes.
