Zonal
wind profiles from ground-based and Hubble images, 2014 February and April
We have generated zonal wind profiles (ZWPs) from amateur
images of Jupiter taken in 2014 Feb., and from Hubble images taken in 2014
April. The main aim was to record the
ZWP for a sector of the South Temperate domain with an outbreak of STBn jet
spots. The STBn jet sub-peak at 29.5šS
is found to be faster alongside the STB dark sector (in agreement with
previous results), but is weaker or absent in the STBn outbreak sector, where
the ZWP agrees with the drift profile of the visible dark spots.
In other latitudes, we find that a cyclonic cell in the NTB has very
rapid circulation, whereas the adjacent N.Temperate Disturbance has a normal
ZWP.
