After three apparitions of wanting to to make an animation of Jupiter's cloud tops, our moment finally arrived in mid-July! Unfortunately, the first two maps didn't have perfect coverage of the planet, but the third map is our first seamless map of the entire planet!

A few things I noticed as a result of this animation:

  • The NEBn is wavy but the boundaries are mostly stationary.
  • There's an interesting complex of outbreaks and rifts between the North Equatorial Belt and the Equatorial Zone passing through 90 degrees longitude.
  • Oval BA seems to be warping a white oval as it passes to the south.

Created with these projections...
