Scientific paper

Smith et al. (1970) have described Jupiter's changing appearance at resolutions down to 10 km over intervals as small as 1 h. Examples of small-scale convection, rapid variations of features, and complex interactions of closed vortices were given. In the present paper, these results are extended to include measurements of the latitudinal profile of zonal (eastward) velocity, from which the absolute vorticity gradient is estimated. Also, a classification scheme based on texture (i.e., the patterns of small features visible at resolutions of 100 km or better) is proposed.
