A study of Jupiter's cloud formations, based primarily on documentation of the May 27, 1983 opposition, is presented. Using some 200 high-resolution photographs, measurements were made of cloud latitudes and periods of rotation, permitting the identification of over 120 cloud formations and the classification of 14 permanent atmospheric currents. The observed movement of white clouds in the South Temperate Zone suggests that the south-south temperate current is very active. The southern tropical perturbation was seen west of the Red Spot, which was observed to continue its retreat toward decreasing longitudes. Other observations included significant activity along the northern and southern limits of the North Equatorial Belt, and a North Tropical Zone/northern North Equatorial Belt rift recognized to be a stable formation.
