The Voyager spacecraft revealed that Jupiter's atmosphere is divided by a series of prograding and retrograding jetstreams. We propose to adapt the nomenclature of high latitude belts to conform to this pattern. The Voyager data are compared with BAA drift rates derived in the three apparitions from 1986 to 1989 (Section Reports in press). Earth-based observers detect several of the prograding jetstreams but only one retrograding jetstream (on SEBs). In the latitudes of the other retrograding jetstreams, only slow-moving features are detected, which probably interrupt the jetstreams just as the Great Red Spot does on the SEBs.
