Scientific paper

Historical data concerning variability of surface brightness of the visible cloud deck are reviewed. The data do not rule out low contrast small cloud structures of the type measured in the Saturnian Voyager wind measurements. Convective models in which methane can condense suggest similar structure may be present at the level of the visible cloud deck in Uranus' atmosphere. Horizontal space and time scales derived from dynamical considerations lie within the accessible range of the wide and narrow angle Voyager cameras. Therefore, Voyager 2 may obtain significant dynamical information about the Uranian atmosphere.
