The Section aims (i) to encourage people to observe Jupiter, and to provide advice on doing so; (ii) to monitor the visible changes in the atmosphere of the planet, and (iii) to produce scientifically valuable reports on these changes.

The principal address list will be the e-mail address list, comprising Section members in the UK and all contributors worldwide. E-mail bulletins are sent out whenever appropriate (approximately once a month during apparitions). Printed text copies can be sent to members in the UK if you supply the Director with some stamped addressed envelopes. 

We expect to publish full reports for each jovian apparition in the BAA Journal in the usual style. Important events are also reported the news columns of the Journal, and in BAA Circulars.

No formal membership - anyone who contributes can consider themselves a member!
