To constrain the properties of Oval BA before and after it reddened, we extract velocity fields from Cassini and Hubble data, showing that there were no significant changes in the horizontal velocity field of Oval BA in 2000, 2006, and 2009. Based on models of the oval's dynamics, the static stability of the oval's surroundings was also unchanged. The vertical extent of the oval did not change, based on our measurements of unchanged haze reflectivity and unchanged stratification. Published vortex models require Brunt-Väisälä frequencies of about 0.08 s-1 at the base of the vortex, and we combine this value with a review of prior constraints on the vertically variable static stability in Jupiter's troposphere to show that the vortex must extend down to the condensation level of water in supersolar abundance.
