Scientific paper

Earth-based photography obtained in 1988-1989 has established that the eastward-flowing jetstream on the northern edge of the Jupiter SSTB first observed by Voyager nearly a decade earlier remains essentially unchanged with respect to both position and speed. The jetstream, lying at -36 deg latitude, exhibited a weighted mean speed of -2.6 deg/day in system II, or +28 m/sec in system III. The jetstream is primarily evident in the circulation of the cyclonic white ovals and 'folded filaments' within the SSTB.
