Results are presented for positional observations of Jovian features, which were carried out from 1963 to 1975 with a 30-m refractor. The motion and structure of the Great Red Spot and three white spots in the south temperate belt are investigated. A temporal relation over one-year periods is observed between the onset of a change in velocity of the Red Spot and the onset of a change in the nature of the motion of the three-spot system. It is shown that although velocity variations are different for each white spot, their motion is coordinated. The amplitude of the positional divergence between one white spot and another is analyzed, and it is concluded that the circulation pattern of the Jovian atmosphere is not axisymmetric. It is suggested that velocity variations of the stable spots on Jupiter may serve as a unique indicator of atmospheric activity on that planet.
