GO 11310: Jupiter's North Temperate Belt Disturbance
Jupiter on April 23, 2007 (taken by (see Christopher Go ); the image is inverted. The light brown spot with darker centre, lying on the northern edge of the North Temperate Belt, was a precursor to the development of new structure in the NTB. | Jupiter on April 29, 2007 (also (see Christopher Go ); the NTB shows more extensive disturbances and the dark spot is Io's shadow. |
Jupiter's atmosphere is characterised by series of banded latitudinal features, designated alternately as belts (dark features) or zones. These are circulation cells, produced by the high Coriolis force generated by Jupiter's dense atmosphere and rapid rotation rate (the diurnal period of 9.9 hours corresponds to a speed of 12.5 km/sec at the equator). The different colours correspond to different depths within the Jovian atmosphere, with the lighter-coloured zones generally corresponding to ammonia clouds in the uppermost layers. In general, the belt/zone structure is fairly stable with time, although smaller-scale disturbances are not infrequent (such as the recent appearance of a ). During March, a disturbance developed in the North Temperate Belt, with the appearance of several bright spots that developed darker trailing features. This type of behaviour has been seen several times in the past, most recently in 1990, and often culminates in the formation of a new dark zone that circumnavigates the entire NTB. This proposal will use multicolour imaging with WFPC2 to sample Jupiter's atmosphere at different depths, and hence investigate the wind profile in the disturbed region.
