Scientific paper

An analysis of about 200 photographs and CCD images of the motions and morphologic changes of Jupiter's North Equatorial Belt (NEB) features during the second half of 1987, relative to a prominent dark oval, reveals numerous active, transient, and irregular bright albedo clouds. These clouds, over the NEB's 7-11 deg north planetographic latitude range, had divergent motion fields with north-south intrinsic outflow motions and exhibited no interaction, collision, or merging. It is suggested that the dark oval was a cyclonic vortex, while the bright spots were the result of localized convective activity.
