Here's a report on the PJ45 Jupiter images, in our usual style. (The report on the Europa images is in the 'Europa' thread in this Think Tank.) Highlights include:
A 6-hour sequence of inbound images, which mapped much of the northern hemisphere;
A methane-band map of the North Polar Hood, confirming large undulations recently mapped in ground-based images, and giving a rotation rate for them;
A view of the only still-dark 'barge' in the NEB, and subtle cloud textures nearby;
White ovals with 'anticyclonic' appearance in the cyclonic SEB.
The report will be posted in three successive Comments: (1) Text, PDF; (2) Mini-figures,, PDF; (3) Full-size figures, ZIP.
