Abstract -- The statistics of the spots in the belts of the planet Jupiter have been studied in the past only by visual observations. This report presents the results of the first phase of a pilot project utilizing the photographic patrol plates taken at the New Mexico State University Observatory. The beginning sections describe the earlier observing methods and summarize the characteristics of Jupiter's spots and zonal currents determined from the earlier techniques. There follows a description of the N.M.S.U. plate collection and the methods used to order the photographic data into useable form. Nine synoptical photographic drift charts, showing the evolution of Jupiter's. spots in nine zonal regions during the 1968-7 apparition, were constructed and data were taken concerning spot motions, shapes, sizes, lifetimes, etc. A computer was used to determine numerous characteristics of the spot populations in the individual currents and relationships between spot parameters. The resulting lists of observed spots form the first reasonably objective and uniform data. sample on Jupiter's spots and the derived statistics and relationships form a source for comparison with theoretical Numerical results are presented herein models for Jupiter's circulation. covering Jupiter's entire northern hemisphere, with the exception of the equatorial jet, for the period November 198 through November 1987 (but June to INovember 1967 is poorly covered because Jupiter was near solar conjunction). The region of zonal shear bordering the equatorial jet is characterized by highly variable spot velocities and by shorter spot lifetimes. Unfortunately, lifetimes can be determined reliably for only a minority of spots, even in stable currents, and the apparent absence of strong correlation between size and lifetime requires further study. Small spots and dark spots may rotate more rapidly than large or light 0 spots in some latitudes. The apparent preferred length for spots of 5 nay simply reflect loss of completeness of smaller spots; latitudinal widths of spots, generally about three-quarters of spot lengths are less variable than spot lengths. Many of the other potential correlations between spot parameters were found to be-weak or absent. Tabulations of all observed spots and summaries of the findings concerning spot characteristics are presented in extensive appendices. TABet -0F C00ITENTSf I. Introduction 5 II.

I1NTROD OTION The planet Jupiter is less that a minute of arc in diameter as seen from the Earth. Nevertheless the gross pattern of the general cir- culation of the planet's atmosphere (at the height of the presumed "tropopause") has been ascertained to a degree not greatly inferior to our knowledge of the general pattern of the terrestrial circulation, at least until recent times. Indeed the oblateness of the planet, due to its rapid rota- tion, and the zonal cloud belts were recognized over three centuries ago, shortly after the invention of the telescope. In 1685 J.D. Cassini dis- covered a large South Tropical spot (probably the Great Red Spot; see Chapman, 1968a) and determined its rotation period. In subsequent years, Cas- sini measured changes in the motion of the Red Spot and also discovered the considerably more rapid motion of spots in equatorial latitudes (the equa- torial acceleration). Beginning about a century ago, amateur astronomers from many countries, but notably England, began to observe Jupiter regularly and to issue systematic summaries about the planet's telescopic appearance and the motions of spots in several well-defined zonal currents, based on visual timings of spot transits across Jupiter's central meridian. Such records through 1948 have been summarized by B.M. Peek (1958) in his comprehensive boock, The Planet Jupiter. Despite the magnitude of the accumulated data from amateur astronomers' observations, far less has been learned from such observations 5 than is possible using modern techniques. First, the visual observations of Jupiter suffer from their subjectivity and human errors. data sample is Secondly, the highly heterogeneous and the data reductions to date have been quite simple and in many ways incomplete and inadequate. The advan- tages' and limitations of the past visual work are discussed in detail later. Since the initiation-of the first regular photographic patrol of Jupiter. now in about its sixth year at the New Mexico State University Observatory in Las Cruces, there is for the first time a large, uniform, objective record of Jupiter which is of sufficient quality to enable many kinds of investigations never before possible to be carried out with relative ease. The present report discusses an early phase of the first com- prehensive analysis of a portion of the New Mexico photographic records. The study is an outgrowth of an original investigation planned by Prof. Raymond Hide and the present author of the relationship between size, and lifetimes of Jupiter's spots. In order to investigate one part of the lifetime spectrum (a few days to a year), a seriies of photogr'aphic charts were constructed from the New Mexico plates, an orderly fashion (to be discussed in designed to display in detail later on) synoptical pictures of Jupiter covering one apparition of the planet. (An apparition is a per- iod of about 13 months measured from one solar conjunction to the next.) However, the charts provide a ready source of information on 7any other characteristics of Jupiter's spots and its and lifetimes. The present analysis is currents than just the sizes an attempt to learn.about many as- pects of Jupiter's visible atmospheric surface from these charts. The intent is to derive empirical information concerning many characteristics of spots (including si7e, color, shape, motions, location, characteric ofsosi etc.) and on the characteristics of the zonal currents. Some kinds of information which are gleaned from the charts simply refine. cruder work already accomplished by amateur astronomers for the same period (e.g. Budine, 1968), Other characteristics which are investigated were suggested by terrestrial analogues with meteorological implications. Still other characteristics investigated are intended to be useful in other projects currently under way (for instance the size-lifetime study of Prof. Hide; also the study of momentum transfer in the Jovian atmosphere by Prof. Victor Starr and his collaborators). The scope of this report is a limited one. By no means is it intended to be the last word on the characteristics of Jupiter's visible surface features. Rather, it is intended to be the preliminary first step in the objective analysis of Jupiter patrol photographs -- a pilot study. The coverage could be extended considerably now that several more years of patrol photographs have been taken, and better more automated techniques for analysing the photographic images are being devised (for instance by Starr's group). Some of the kinds of information and correlations devel- oped here will justify further study in the future, while still other kinds of analysis can and will be nerformed using the present charts. There is no attempt in this thesis to nut forward physical hy- potheses to help "explain" the relationships which apnesr. too premature to do so.

The pre- liminary data on the size-lifetime relationship presented herein will be amplified upon and presented, together with data -on more long-lived spots and with a preliminary theoretical interpretation, in a report currently in preparation (Hide and Chapman, 1968). The present studies of the spot and current motions will serve as the basis from which the more sophisticated technic ues of Starr et al will be developed in a theoretical-empirical study of the dynamical processes of Jupiter's general circulation. paper is Another planned which will use the present study as a basis for suggesting improvements in the traditional methods which amateur astronomers have been using for studying Jupiter; it appears likely that amateur data will be the primary source for much of our information about Jupiter's snots for some years to come. Many of the characteristics of Jupiter's appearance and circulation appear to vary from year to year, but the present study considers only a relatively brief segment of time.

PREVIOUS STUDIES OF JUPITER'S SPOTS Telescopic observations by amateur and semi-professional astronomers form the basis for m-Iost of our knowledge about the motions and characteristics of Jupiter's spots and currents. Through a telescope, Jupiter presents an elliptical disk about 40 seconds of arc in diameter. Lying parallel to the equator is a series of bright "zones" and dark "belts", the most prominent of which are in sub-tropical latitudes. Although these belts and zones vary in both darkness and width, and slightly in latitude, the major ones seem to have maintained their identity first studied in the 1600's. since Jupiter was Thus a standard nomenclature has developed; for instance from equator southward: Equatorial Band, Equatorial Zone (south portion), South Equatorial Belt (north component), South Equatorial Belt Zone, South Equatorial Belt (south component), South Tropical Zone, South Temperate Belt, South Temperate Zone, SouthwSouth Temperate Belt, South-South Temperate Zone, South-South-South Temperate Belt, and so on, with a similar nomenclature north of the equator. Cassini's observations in the late 17th century provided the first evidence for the most important characteristic of Jupiter's circulation: the 5-minute shorter rotation period for sPots within 10 equator compared with the tude snots. 9h 5 5 m of the rotation period typical for higher lati- More recently about 20 distinct zonal currents have been rec- ognized which are more or less, but not exactly, correlated with the visible belts and zones. The chEracteristics of these currents are described 9 following a discussion of telescopic observing methods. A. Observing Methods The typical telescope which has been used during the past century for accumulating data on Jupiter is between 4 frequently a portable backyard reflector. .nd 12 inches in aperture, (Occasionally large professional observatories have been used; sometimes small telescopes have been used for observing the largest spots.) Observers have been of all ages from early teens up and of many nationalities. In experience, reliability, and dedi- cation, observers have ranged from the very able to the very casual. general, In however, most of the published reports are based largely on the extensive work by just a few devoted and experienced American and British observers who overwhelm the far larger number of more casual observers by the sheer quantity of their observations. For about 3 months centered on solar conjunctions, Jupiter is quite unobservable. During the next several months, it is visible only in early morning hours when few observers can find the enthusiasm to make regular observations. Near times of solar opnosition, the planet is the horizon all night and many more observations are made -- evening. As Jupiter again approaches conjunction, the evenings twilight. and usually is- well-observed until it above mainly in the it is visible only in is Not all apparitions are equally favorable. but particularly,for those in high latitudes such as in lost in the glare-of For most observers, England, Jupiter's 12-year cyclical journey through the zodiac is crucial, and not just because of seasonal differences in the observing climate. in • Gemini, it can rise higher than 6O0 in 10 1hen Jupiter is the sky over -England, and remain above the horizon for over 15 hours. But 6 years later, when it is in Sagittarius, Jupiter never attains 200 and even then swiftly sinks below the horizon again. Since the small-scale turbulence in the terrestrial atmosphere ("seeing"),.which is so important for resolving spots in Jupiter's image, is a strong function of zenith angle (mainly due to increased airmass), it is very difficult to obtain good observations from England during those years when Jupiter is in the southern constellations of the zodiac. It is important to recognize that these and other factors strongly affect the uniformity of Jupiter observations; for instance, the similarity between Jupiter's zodiacal period and the sunspot cycle renders uncertain apparent correlations between the solar cycle and Jovian phenomena. About four chief kinds of visual observations of Jupiter have been made during the past century with some uniformity: drawings, descriptive notes and photometry, latitude measurements, and central meridian We will be concerned chiefly with, the last kind of observation transits. which yields information on longitudinal (zonal) motions of spots.

However, prior to the recent establishment of a photographic patrol, good photographs were not generally taken at sufficiently frequent intervals to form nearly as complete a record of Jupiter's appearance as that formed by the multitude of sketches. Fortunately, studies show (e.g. Chapman, 1932) that when data taken from drawings made by reliable observers are corrected for each observer's systematic positional errors, surprisingly high precision can be obtained from drawings (1-o in latitude, 2 disk). in longitude are typical errors at the center of the Iowever, drawings almost never have been analysed in an orderly fashion and hence are not a source for reduced information about Jupiter. Descrintive notes. Amateur astronomers frecuetly write descrip- tions of the planet each evening, including estimates of the color and relative conspicuousness of the belts and zones, as well as coments on noteworthy spots and suspected changes from previous days. Sometimes attempts are made to estimate the relative brightnesses of surface features on a numerical scale; these estimates could be calibrated to yield useful -hotometric data, but never have been in practise. Latitude measurements. With rare exceptions, measurements of latitudes have been restricted to the latitudes of the edges of the belts and zones so little data is available on individual spots. Micrometers were often used for these measurements, but more recently measurements from occasional photographs have usually sufficed for this purpose. Central meridian (014) trarsits. Probably the most useful data to nlanetary science assembled by amateur astronomers is information obtained on the longitudes of Jovian spots from several million timings of passages of spots across the central meridian of the planet. The observing procedure is quite simple: the observer merely estimates to the nearest 12 .U.~!-* minute the time at which each spot visible rotates across the vertical meridian bisecting the illuminated disk of Jupiter. The observer records each such timing along with a brief description of the spot (usually limited to its approximate latitude, relative to one of the visible belts, and whether it is bright or dark). The longitudes of the spots are then an ephemeris such as the American quickly determined from CGM tables in Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac (AETA). Longitudes are determined relative to one of two longitude systems rotating with arbitrary periods which approximate the periods for equatorial higher latitude periods (System II, spots (System I, 9 h5 d 40 9 h5 0m 3 0.003s) or the . 6 3 2 s)@ Longitudes determined from CM transits are subject to several systematic errors. First, different observers show differing susceptibil- ities to "phase exaggeration" which yields a systematic longitudinal bias that varies with the sun-Jupiter-earth phase angle.. Secondly, observers have their own personal high or low biasps, which may or may not be stable with time. Both kinds of systematic biases can amount to more than 20 of longitude. Reese (1962) has shown that the accidental error in longitude (after correction for biases) is less than 10 for a good observer. Unfor- tunately, 014 transits are rarely corrected for systematic errors in pub- lished reductions. B. Reductions of Amateur Data Published reductions of CM transit data by such organizations as the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers and the British Astronomical Association are usually based on several thousand CM transits submitted by several dozen different observers during the course of an appari- 13 tion. The Jupiter Directors who have performed the reductions are intel- ligent and competent, but as unpaid amateur astronomers they have usually lacked the time to obtain more than the bare essentials from the data. This is all the more unfortunate now since much of the original data has been lost or thrown away. The method of reduction is as follows. From exnerience, the typical latitudinal extents of the several zonal currents are known, a separate graph can be made for each current. so All CM transit longitudes for the particular current (horizontal axis) are plotted against date,(increasing downwards), using different symbols to distinguish dark spots from white ones and timings of the preceding or following ends from those of the centers. The prominent well-observed spots are immediately ident- ifiable on such a graph as a string of points, perhaps slenting to the right or left depending upon whether the spot is moving more slowly or more rapidly than the adopted longitude system. Lines are drawn to con-- nect the Doints for the identified spots. The identification of the more inconspicuous or transient spots is more uncertain. There is the danger of connecting several points which do not refer to the same atmospheric feature. The determination of whether several points do represent a sin- gle feature rests on a number of factors: the closeness of fit to a straight drift line (indicztive of a uniform rotation peiiod), the similvrity of the apparent rate of drift to other spots in the same latitude, and the lack of possible ambiguity in connecting soots over a long observComparisons of independent reductions of transit data during ational gap. the same apnrition suggest that overly optimistic identifications have frequently been made. Bias is undoubtedly introduced by the subjectivity of this kind of decision-making. ~ . a The published reports' usually contain the following information for each identified features dates and longitudes when first and last re- corded, the mean longitudinal drift per 30 days, and the corresponding rotation period. There is occasionally a brief description of the spot be- yond the simple designation of dark or bright. Mean drifts, and hence mean rotation periods, are obtained for each current, usually unweighted averages of the drifts of all spots deemed to be in the current. Without belittling these valuable reports, or their general reliability, it is nevertheless worth noting that ideally far more could have been done, and still can be done for future apnaritions and even for past ones for which the original data still exists. For instance, in re- cent years largely independent reports have been issued by groups in many different countries, including the United States, Japan, England, Switzer- land, Italy, and others. It is unfortunate that attempts to pool all the data have so far failed. Secondly, few attempts have been made to elim- inate observations by unreliable observers, to weight or interpret data to take into account differing telescopes or seeing conditions, to determine and correct for personal systematic errors, or to use standard statistical procedures for determining the reliability of spot identifications. or no attempt to use other kinds of Thirdly, there has been little data (such as drawings, existing photographs, junction with the transit data. or written notes) in con- For instance, since spots occur in many different shapes and sizes which are often stable, checking photographs or drawings could improve the reliability of spot identifications; they could even be used to fill in gaps in the GCM transit coverage. Finally, the many other important characteristics of spot motions besides the average motion are lost, except in those relatively infrequent cases when the 15 original drift charts have been published. I should repeat that to perform the kind of improved analysis suggested above would take much more time than even the most devoted amateur astronomer could volunteer; in fact, it would take more time than Nevertheless, the analysis of the photographs reported on in this thesis. it may well prove desirable to perform such reductions on a pooled collection of amateur Jupiter observations plus existing photographs for apparitions prior to the establishment of photographic patrols. I expect such analyses could approximate the accuracy of the present preliminary reduction of the patrol photographs. C. Characteristics of Juniter's Circulation -- Early Results The results of amateur astronomers' observations of the motions of Jupiter's spots have been published in numerous reports and journals during the past century, some of them available in observatory libraries, but most of them small, sometimes mimeographed, publications of limited distribution. Perhaps the chief sources for reduced Jupiter data covering the period 1891 to 1948 are the regular, orderly, and complete reports of the Jupiter Section of the British Astronomical Association issued until 1943 as Memoirs of the British Astronomical Association and thereafter as revorts in the Journal of the B. A. A. An excellent summary of these ob- servations has been given wide distribution as the book, The Planet Jupi;ter by B. M. Peek; however, the original renorts should be consulted for serious investigation of past .ork. For apparitions since 1948, a super- ior source for Jupiter rotation data are the usually regular reports of 16 the Jupiter Section of the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers, published in the Journal of the Association ("The Strolling Astronomer"). These reports, prepared until recently by Mr. Elmer J. Reese, are of cx- ceptional quality. I now describe what. I.feel are'the pertinent characteristics of Jupiter's motions based on my familiarity with the literature and on sev' eral unpublished analyses I have made based on the above sources. Compar- isons of independent reductions of snot data suggest that the published tables generally provide a reliable picture of the characteristics of Jupiter's circulation, even though misidentifications occur. The mean rotation period for a single spot can usually be determined to better than 1 second, althbugh spot motions frequently fluctuate about the mean by a second or more. If one plots mean rotation period versus Jovian latitude, the most obvious feature is the equatorial acceleration: within a degree or two of both +100 and -100, spots switch from a rotation period similar to that of most higher latitude spots of about 9h55 m to a period of about 9 h 5 0 1m, which is characteristic (usually to within ( ) of snots at all lati- tudes between + and -100 . The non-equatorial regions of the planet do not rotate exactly as a solid, .even in the long-term average (Chapman, 1968b). The two hemispheres are not symetric. in south temperate latitudes (about both ooleward and equatorward. The shortest average periods are 9 h 5 5 m), with somewhat longer periods The longest average periods are in north temperate latitudes, with shorter periods both equatorward and poleward. In addition to this average pattern are two well-defined latitudes of transient, semi-periodic anomalous periods: the lonest occur in south 17 4, sub-tropical latitudes (about 9h58m during the South Equatorial Belt disturbance) and the shortest in north sub-tropical latitudes (arourid h 4 9 ). 9 Superimposed on this general picture are both spatial and temporal fluctuations. I now define the word "current" as I use it. Loosely, currents are the various latitudinal zones possessing different mean rotation rates. More precisely, a current is a particular rotation neriod or velocity which, for many years, is characteristic of a large fraction of soots in a particular latitudinal zone. Thus a current is not defined so much by the belt it is in, or even its latitude, as by its characteristic rate. It often happens that spots in closely adjacent latitudes (or even the same latitude) follow the notions of two distinct currents. It also happens that spots in a particular belt may follow the rate of one current during some years and another current during others. more stable in latitude than Some belts. Some currents seem Reese and Smith (1966) have shown that the rapidly-rotating spots in north temperate latitudes (about 240 N.) are manifested on periodic occasions when the Notth Temperate Belt (ITB) shifts southward into that latitude. evidence that the S. S On the other hand, there is Temperate Current extended its influence equator- ward around 1940 when spots on the sough edge of the STB, which had been rotating about 15 seconds faster at a period corres7onding to that of the S. S. Temperate Current. The mean rotation period of a current can differ by several seconds from year to year; these are real changes, not statistical fluctuations. Some currents, such as the S. S. are more stable from year to year than others. Temperate Current For most currents the rates are often similar from year to year followed by rapid acceleratiQns or decelerations which mark the start of a new regime which may last for ''' ;=- " - I, * several more years before a returt to normali Most currents have fairly sharp latitudinal boundaries, and the characteristic rotation periods usually differ by substantially greater amounts than the typical variations from year to year or the deviations from the mean of different spots within a current. That is, "currents s seem to be fairly well-defined entities and are not just arbitrary subdivisions of a smoothly varying latitudinal dependence of wind velocity. The average rotation periods for individual snots generally differ by only a few seconds from the mean for the current it is in. Some- times there are temporary groups of spots, separated from each other by longitude around the same latitude circle, which move either somewhat faster or slower than the mean for a current. Apart from the rotation periods for a current as a whole, or its longitudinal sections, individual spots have their own characteristic behavior. Published and un-published drift charts for the N. Ec. Current suggest that most North Equatorial spots undergo relatively rapid oscillations about their mean longitudinal drift; though non-periodic, the oscillations result in shifts of as much as 100 in a single month. The present analysis of photographs shows that this behavior is specially peculiar to the N. Eq. Current. Published drift charts also indicate occa- sions when spots suddenly accelerate or decelerate and adopt a lasting new mean rotation period which may differ by many seconds from the previous period. Such changes can occur either as part of a change in a whole current' or section, or can be quite individual. Such rapid and unpredict- able changes in motion make it difficult to trace and identify spots through even short gaps in observations. *.4o~ 19 As discussed earlier in this section, these finer aspects of spot motions have never been systematically studied from either amateur observations or from photographs, even though suggestions of typical behavior can be seen on the crude drift charts based on CM transits. The important point of this section is that while there is regularity and uniformity in the characteristics of Jupiter's circulation over the past century, or longer, it is also true that many of the characteristics show temporal variations. Therefore, the results of the present analysis must be taken as representative of Jupiter's circulation only during the period under study. Certainly some gross characteristics derived for one year will exemplify Jupiter's behavior at all times. At least some of the fin- er.aspects of the statistics may be expected to be approximately typical for a given current, but likely not to within the measured statistical error since other characteristics of currents are known to vary from year to year. Certainly the value of the present investigation will be enhanced if it is repeated for other apparitions so that the nature and magnitude of year-to-year changes in the statistics can be ascertained. A final word of caution is necessary before describing the project. This is simply an empirical study, with no presumptibn to attempt a physical explanation at this time, and it should be emphasized that we are uncertain yet as to just what we are measuring the motions of when we 'observe "spots N . It would be naive to assume that the "spots" are dynam- ically neutral "wind markers". Spectroscopic observations suggest that the true rotational velocity of Jupiter's atmosphere above the cloud surface approximates the velocities obtained from spots, but the precision is poor. Motions of terrestrial cyclones and anti-cyclones, which may be the analogues of Jupiter's spots, have been shown to duplicate in relative 20 directions but not in absolute iagnitudes soe of the true dynamical elements of the terrestrial circulation (Macdonald, 1967). III. TIE METHODS USED FOR OBTAINING DATA O JUPITER'S SPOTS FROM THE PHOTORAPHIC PATROL A. Construction of Photographic Drift Charts The early phases of planning the construction of the charts which were eventually used as the basis for the nresent investigation, although carried out mainly by myself shall not be construed to be strictly part of the work on this thesis, since much of it was done prior to my enrollment in M. I. T. Nevertheless, since these charts form the basic source for the data used in the thesis, it is necessary to discuss their format and preparation in some detail for background purposes. This is the first such description of'the preparation of the charts. The Patrol Photographs The original source of the photographs is the plate collection at the New Mexico State University Observatory on the campus in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The plate collection covers the period of the current decade, but until about 1964 the coverage was less complete and the photographic quality not as high as in later years. 21 Prior to February 1967, a 12-inch aperture reflector, located on Tortugas V1ountain, was used for the patrol photography. Since the, a 24-inch Boller and Chivens Cassegrain instruTwo ment has been installed on Tortugas Mountain as the patrol telescope. photographers work on alternate nights to obtain patrol photographs of Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, and more irregular photographs of the other planets. Photographs are regularly taken with filter-plate combinations sensitive to red, green, and blue wavelengths. Occasional photographs are also taken on ultraviolet or infrared sensitve plates and on panchromatic plates. The New Mexico photographic patrol of Jupiter is not continuous; there are the many gaps necessary because Jupiter is too near the sun, or below the horizon, or behind a cloud, or a particular Jovian loQngitude is not facing the earth. Also, because of the extreme rarity of perceivable changes in Jupiter's surface features during the course of rotation across the disk, it is only necessary to photograph Jupiter once every 2 hours, or so, to insure complete coverage as the planet rotates beneath us. But mainly in the interests of economy, the New Mexico patrol is somewhat less complete than ideal. Coverage is often omitted in order to photograph the other planets, cr because the seeing conditions are rather poor, or because good coverage was acheived just the night before, or for a host of other reasons. There is a general attempt to cover a particular Jovian longitude at least twice a week. On the average, the coverage is this good or better during the middle months of. an apparition. Sometimes an extra effort is made-to photograph particular surface features which yields superior coverage for certain longitudes compared with others. The various scheduling procedures plus urpredictable circum- 22 stances such as cloudy weather occasionally result in gaps in the coverage in one of the regular colors near a particular longitude of up to a month even in the middle of an apparition. There are also cases of nearly daily coverage of a particular longitude fdr a week or two. The patrol photographs are not at all of equal quality. The res- olution in the images is a function of many factors of which the most important is the "seeing" condition -- small-scale turbulence in the terrestrial atmosphere which either causes "excursion" of Jupiter's image across The the plate during an exposure, or simply makes the whole image fuzzy. seeing varies from second to second; thus many individual exposures must be made to obtain good images even though, as at the N.M.S.U. Observtory, the photographer is monitoring the seeing visually at the same time. A typical N.M.S.U. plate has several dozen images taken during the ccurse of several minutes. (The time of each image is accurately recorded.) The average seeing also varies from day to day with changing weather and over the course of an apparition (early and late in an apparition Jupiter must be observed when low in the sky where seeing is bad). All N.M.S.U. plates are examined and the better images on each are marked. Also a rating of the average quality of the better images is made on an A,B,0 7 D,E scale; these ratings are found to correlate closely with the photographers' estimates of the seeing conditions recorded during the observation period. The Photographic Prints I decided that the best way to order the New "exico data was to construct "drift charts" analogous to those used for the analysis of CM transits, except to substitute photographic strips -- which convey full information on not only spot longitudes but also their sizes, shapes, brightnesses, relative latitudes, etc. -- in place of the simple symbols used to represent CM transit longitude determinations. By constructing a separate chart for each latitudinal zone, and laying photographic strips horizontally on the chart, with left-right position determined by the longitude of the central meridian, creasing date, it is and nesting them beneath each other with in- possible to follow ct a glance the development and ev- olution of an entire zone during the period covered by the chart. This technique, while less sophisticated than the very difficult task of constructing time-lapse movies from the plates, and somewhat less precise and objective than machine measurement and interpretation of the plates, is well-suited for a relatively rapid, inexpensive pilot project with the aim of establishing the general characteristics of Jupiter's evolution during an apparition. I decided to construct nine charts covering Jupiter's entire surface with nine slightly overlapping zones. Since maximum coverage was desirable not only for the size-lifetime study but also for other general studies of Juniter such as those described in this thesis, all available non-redundant plates wer6 used during the year best covered by high quality plates. Examination of several years of patrol plates suggested that the time coverage during the latest complete apparition (1966-1987) was at least as good for previous apparitions, and the quality of the plates was somewhat better, mainly due to the installation of the larger telescope in the middle of the apnarition. The period selected included the entire 1986-1967 apparition plus the tail end of the previous annpparition and the early beginnings of the 1967-1968 apparition (19 months including the two long gaps near solar conjunctions). The charts on which the present study is based cover only the final three-quarters of the 1966-7 apparition and S:24 11 ,. - ~I ~t'r, , qt-, .~- -. including one long gap); the beginning of the next appatiti6n (one j48, charts for the earlier photographs, many of relatively poor quality, are not yet completed. Photographs of Jupiter in different colors show substantially different surface features. In order to avoid the confusion of mixing photographs of different wavelength sensitivity, separate charts were made for long-wavelength photographs (red and near infrared) and for short-wavelength photographs (blue and near ultraviolet). Since green plates show features intermediate in appearance between red and blue, redundancy was reduced by omitting any charts based on green photographs, but using green photographs, when appropriate, to fill in lengthygaps in coverage on both the blue and red charts. All the blue and red plates were used except those for which the quality rating was D or less and except for those which provided only redundant coverage of a particular longitude already covered by adjacent photographs taken the same night. Even poor quality plates were used when required to fill a gap in the coverage.

By projecting the image onto the paper through a snecial photo- graphic plate overlay, it was -ossible to superimpose on all prints an accurate outline of Jupiter and other identifying marks used later in preparation of the charts. A fine white line was superimposed on all prints bisecting the Jupiter outline to serve as a marker of the central meridian for pasting photographic strips at the proper longitudes on the charts. Also superimposed on the prints were the meridians for +350 from the C,. Because surface spots on Jupiter lose their contrast away from the center of the disk, I decided to use only the central 700 for placement on the charts; hence the +350 meridians indicated where the ends of the strips were to be cut off.

Since the nine zones are slightly overlap- ping, two identical prints were made of each photograph for staggered cutting. A nrint of the plate overlay was placed in the movable paperholder so that Jupiter's image could be centered correctly before inserting the unexposed paper and lowering the plate overlay (fastened to the paper holder). Because of the non-symmetrical brightness distribution across the image of Jupiter, except near opposition, caused by the sun- Jupiter-earth phase angle, some bias is necessarily introduced in centering the image (phase exaggeration). correcting for phase exaggeration, Mr. Elmer Reese, who is familiar with helped to guide the darkroom assistant to make appropriate though subjective corrections for phase exaggeration, but long-term systematic bias of perhaps two degrees is 26 undoubtedly still present. gree. Random error in centering probably amounts to less than one de- The orientation of the centered image of Jupiter was relatively easy to accomplish because of the planet's nrominent belts parallel to the equator; in any case the precise orientation is not crucial. To minimize the effect of the discontinuity in longitude at the left and right ends of the charts (00 and 360), all images with central ° meridi-ans within about 250 of either 0 or 360 were'printed twice (4 prints) so that they could be pasted at both ends of the charts. The Charts Approximately 700 separate images of Jupiter were used to construct 18 charts which depict the evolution of Jupiter's surface features in two colors (red and blue) for the nine different latitudinal regions. The charts currently cover the 1966-7 apparition from November 2 through its conclusion (last photograph June 14) plus the very beginnings of the 1967-8 apparition during the period Sept. 30-November 14. sents the relevant information about the charts. Table 1 pre- The central latitude is the zenographic latitude , apnroximately in the center of the latitudinal in region covered by each chart, for which the longitude scale was chosen positioning the photographs. Clearly, because of the different lengths of latitude circles, the adopted longitude scale on each chart is slightly too expanded for spots poleward of that latitude. latitude in The choice of this central each zone was weighted toward the latitude where spots were Actually the latitude assumes that Jupiter's axis is exactly perpendicular to our line of sight. In fact, Jupiter's north pole was tilted towards' earth during this period by a varying amount of somewhat less than 1 . 27 most prevalent. The next column lists the abbreviations of the important belts and zones covered by each chart. The penultimate column lists the ratio in length of lo in longitude at the central latitude to 10 at the equator; this is useful because later analyses record spot lengths in degrees 'rather than absolute lengths. Note that the longitudinal scale on the charts is such that 10 at the equator = 0.20 inch. The vertical daily spacing of the photographic strips is given in the last column in inches. Because of this Yide spacing necessitated by the width of the strips, between 2 and 3 pieces of cardboard 30 inches long were required to cover the 225 last days of the 1968-7 apparition for each chart. The photographic prints were sliced into strips with a printtrimmer. The foreshortened ends of the strins were cut off with scissors, and the resulting parts rubber-cemented onto the white cardboard charts In positioned with the aid of accurate longitude rules for each chart. cases where two strips overlapped, some effort was made to place the better one on top. The resulting charts are a montage of strips which when viewed from a distance seem to show little and quite random spacing. uniformity in tone, few spots, AltYhough it was not planned that the charts would ever be striking pictorial exhibits of Jupiter to the untrained eye, the variable darkness of the strips is disconcerting and makes any attempt to copy the charts for illustration in this thesis quite impossible. The variable brightness of the strips is due partly to uneven darkroom proce-dures, partly due to poor quality control by the photographic paper manufacturer, and partly due to the innate variability in the plate images affected by observing conditions, plate characteristics- etc. To the ob- servant eye, however, these non-uniformities are relatively unimportant, and hundreds of saots can be discerned and traced from day to day. Of more concern are the gaps in coverage, caused either by poor photographic quality usually caused by poor seeing conditions, or else by a complete lack of photographs of a particular longitude during a lengthy interval. The proper sorting out of the real characteristics of the Jovian spots from the bias due to such coverage problems is a difficult taskc. The fol- lowing sections describe my preliminary attempt to obtain this information. TABLE I Chart Central Latitude I 430 II 27j III 18 IV 5X Ratio 10 Long at Central Lat.

In particular, one must unambiguously trace -the spots from day to day if one is to obtain any information on spot notions or evolution. As suggested in Section II B, this is a difficult task. Fortu- nately it is comparatively easy to discern continuity of spots from the numerous characteristics revealed in complete photographs of the spots. Nearly every current has a variety of large, prominent, relatively long-lived spots whose drifts from day to day are clear. These spots serve as markers, and the motions and development of smaller spots can be traced in relation to the larger ones. Because of the lucid pre- sentations of the evolution of a region on the charts, one quickly develops an impression of the qualitative characteristics of the spot appearances, motions, and changes which allows one to form subjective but realistic decisions concerning the reliability of interpreting a pair of spots observed on different days as the same spot. As discussed earlier, this approach is a substantial improvement over earlier drift charts, based on largely heterogeneous data on spot longitudes only. Nevertheless, the present techniques are inferior to what can eventually be acheived by obBut in order to establish meaningful jective analysis of the patrol data. criteria to serve as the basis for programming the objective decision-making routine, it is necessary to make a pilot study such as the present one which provides an approximate basis for choosing realistic criteria. Pencil lines connecting identical spots were drawn on transparent matte-surface overlays. First a symbol was recorded on the over- lays to signify each visible spot. Subsequently, after careful attention was paid to all the details visible in the photographs, solid lines were drawn connecting the obviously-identical spots. 30 Dashed lines were used to connect spots deemed to be probably identical, and .dotted lines used for possibly identical spots. In doubtful cases, of which there were many (particularly for smaller spots), no lines were drawn. The process was then iterated to insure that all spots down to a uniform standard of reliability were marked and that complete and uniform construction of the drift lines was achieved. The use of different symbols helped to dis- tinguish spots of different sizes and colors. Lines of different colors were used to plot drifts for spots in adjacent but different latitudes which frequently have different average drifts. It was not easy to maintain uniformity and reasonable objectivity when marking spots and then drawing drift lines. It is easy to see small, rather vague spots on an otherwise featureless belt when spots of equal or greater size or contrast can be missed amid the general confusion of such a belt as the NEB. Also, it is undoubtedly the case that an isolated spot moving with a greatly different velocity from its neighbors (or rapidly oscillating in velocity or latitude) would be harder to detect than a similar spot moving in a normal fashion. Also there is the "zebra problem"; whether to call an assemblage of spots dark spots on a light bacrkground or bright spots on a dull background. In many cases there is no doubt as to whether the spots are mainly dark or light, but in some regions where the spots are ill-defined (such as the wavy edges of the SEB), my preference for seeing primarily dark spots might not be shared by others. Measured Information about the Spots From the innumerable kinds of data which could be measured con- 31 cerning each spot, I selected the following representative characteristics for the pilot study. They cover, in approximate form, most of the charac- teristics which can be obtained from the present charts in a reasonably short time. The information for each spot was punched on two computer cards. Each spot was given a number, ranging upwards from 1. Number: Latitude: The spots were placed in one of the following 24 latitudes. There are two numbers corresponding to the south component of the NorthNorth-Temperate Belt; number 22 refers to spots seen on the north edge of the chart for the NTB, while number 23 refers to spots seen on the south edge of the chart for the NNTB. 2 17 NEBZ 9 SEBsn 1 SSTeZ SSTB 3 SSTBn 4 STeZ 5 STB 10 SEBZ 18 NEBn 11 SEBns 19 NTrZ 12 SEBn 20 NTBs 21 NTB 22 NNTBs 13 EZs 14 EB 6 STBn 7 STrZ 8 SEBs 23 NNTBs 24 NTNTeZ 15 EZn 16 NEBs ' Number of observations: This is the approximate number of dates on which the spot was recorded.

Perhaps the spot disap- peared, or perhaps the coverage was poor, or other reasons. or combinations of reasons, are listed below. were recorded - Nine reasons, For each spot, two numbers one giving the reason why the spot was not seen earlier, one why it was not seen afterwards. o = The spot definitely was not formed or definitely disappeared. This includes the cases when smaller spots either emerged from or merged into larger spots. 1 = The spot Drobably was not formed or probably disappeared (including probable merges). 2 = The spot was vague or small and was only marginally observed in any case. 3 = There were lengthy gaps in the photographic coverage either before or after the spot was observed rendering identifications uncertain. 4 = There were many nearby similar spots, pebhaps exhibiting rapid relative motions, rendering the identification of the spot ambiguous. 5 = Combination of 2 and 3 above. The spot was vague and the coverage was poor. 6 = Combination of 2 and 4 above. The spot was vague and crowded by sim- ilar spots. 7 = Combination of 3 and 4 above. There was poor coverage and the spot was crowded. 8 = The spot continued to exist but had substantially changed its appearance. 9 = The snot could not be followed because one end of its lifetime extended into the time either before or after the photographic coverage of the 1966-7 apparition. Dates definitely not extbnts For those spots which were recorded as either 33 definitely not formed or definitely disappeared, the previous or following dates are given on which there is definite photographic evidence that the spot was not extant. These dates help establish upper limits to spot life- times. Positions at thirty-day intervals: The longitudes of the spots were re- corded for days numbered 15, 45, 75, 105, 135, 165, and 195 if the spots were extant on any of those days. Typical deviation from uniform drift: Different spots show differing tendencies to meander about a straight line drift. For each spot which lasted at least 30 days, an estimate was made of the typical short-term deviation of the spot (in degrees) from its mean drift during a 30-day period. These are listed in the tabulations in the appendix in the column labelled "DEVI. Dates of soecial prominence: S6me spots are visible for a long time, but have a period or two of unusual prominence. The beginning and ending dates of such periods were recorded when applicable. Snot description: In order to approximately identify spots by appearance, the following classifications were applied% (1) Light or dark. medium, or sharp in general outline and distinctiveness.

(4) Spot type: round or oval, festoon, wavy edge or projection from a belt or zone (either dark or light), angular shaped spots, aworphous spots, variable shape, preceding border, or following border. Spot lenthst The maximum and minimum lengths of spots were recorded in degrees of longitude. Snot continuationss It has already been pointed out that for several rea- sons, the continuous drifts of spots are interrupted by gaps in the coverage or for other reasons, and that in such cases of doubtful drifts, dashed lines were drawn on the chart overlays to indicate probable spot continuations and dotted lines to indicate possible continuations. In addition there are cases of merging or diverging spots, which themselves are either definite, probable, or possible. In all these cases, the continuations were noted by punching the reference numbers of adjoining spots on the computer data cards. In any cases of ambiguous continuations of spots, no more than one continuation is Physically related snots: regarded as "ptobable". On some occasions, it is clear that several spots are physically related to each other. For instance, in the north edge of the NEB there was a small white spot surrounded by a much larger dark spot. ent. It is possible that such combinations are in no way independ-.. The reference numbers of any closely related spots were punched on the data cards, though no use of such relationships was made in this preliminary study. All of the above spot characteristics were recorded for the bluelight photographs of all currents except the North Equatorial Current. The spots in the North Equatorial Current, unlike the remainder of the planet, are much more prominent in red light. In a subsequent study, the red light photographs of all belts, plus the relatively featureless bluelight photographs of the Equatorial regions, if there are any systematic differences in tion of color. will be analysed to determine spot characteristics as a func. Partly in order to assure uniformity of the data analysed in this thesis, and partly because of difficulties in computer storage of the voluminous data on equatorial spots, discussion of the NEB regions is omitted from this report. IV. A. COIiPUTER A2IALYSIS OF THE OHARACTERISTICS OF JOVIAN SPOTS AND OURRETTS Spot Characteristics The-number of spots observed and the numerous computations necessary to derive all the atatistics desired required the use of a computer. A Fortran IV IBM 360 program of more than 1000 steps was written de- signed to execute the following procedures. Definite, Probable, and Possible Spots The data cards contain information on spots with definitely observed drifts or else spots which were definitely observed only once. Probable and possible spots were generated from series of definitely observed spots using the continuation reference numbers and the following -. °. 36 conventions. Many of the probable and possible drift lines drawn on the chart overlays are of a branching nature -- i.e. they indicate either merges or else ambiguous continuations of which only one may be the correct one. One could study all possible combinations and permutations of spots formed by the probable and possible drifts, but for our purposes this would be mis-representative. For instance, in the case of the two promi- nent merging spots in the NEBn, such a procedure would give lifetimes for both of upwards of 6 months. But, since during the last 4 months of this neriod there was only one spot where there had been two, one clearly had disappeared and both did not last 6 months Also, to follow both naths in cases of ambiguity, clearly would not represent the real situation, whereas to choose and follow just one path in an ambiguous case at least m rep- resent what really happened. Therefore I have traced probable and possible spot drifts using the same convention in which rivers are usually named. At each juncture of two spot drifts (whether due to ambiguity or real merges), only one is traced past the juncture and the other is regarded as either having disappeared (or appeared in cases of divergence). Probable spots are taken as those singly observed spots and definitely traced spots which are connected by one or more probable drift lines. definite Possible spots are those spots and probable spots which are connected by one or more pos- sible drift lines. Some of the statistics compiled below are considered separately for each possible grouping of the observed spots. The statistics for def- inite spots may be regarded as providing the most reliable information on spot drifts, particularly over short periods of'time. H!owever, because of the gaps in the photographic coverage, the possible spots probably give the most realistic, though not most reliable, picture of the lifetimes and evolution of spots. The bulk of the statistics are computed for the probable spots only. The second last column of the spot tabulations in the appendix (labelled "PART") lists the identification number for any probable or possible spot of which the tabulated definite or probable spot is a part. In addition to the data measured directly for each spot, the following characteristics were computed for, each definite, probable, and possible spot. Spot Lifetimes The observed lifetime of a spot is equal to the last date on which it was observed minus the first date (arbitrarily set equal to 0.5 Howdver; these are clearly minimum days for spots observed only once), From these observed lifetimes and the recorded reasons why the lifetimes. spots were not observed before or after these dates (see Sect. III B), more realistic lifetimes for each spot were computed (when possible) and, in any case, the lifetimes were considered to be in one of six categories of reliability. Estimated true lifetimes If both ends of a spot lifetime were considered to have been definitely determined (reasons not recorded both coded 0 as described earlier), then an estimate of the true lifetime was made by averaging the observed lifetime and the time difference between the two dates on which the spot was definitely not extant (the latter dates are recorded when ends of spot lifetimes were observed). 38 -i: 5 Probable lifetime: If one end df a spot lifdtie was definitely observed (0), but the other was only probably observed (1), or the spot changed its appearance drastically but did not necessarily di'sappear (8), the observed lifetime was taken as the spot's probable lifetime. Twice probable half-lifetime: If one end of a snot life-time was definite- ly observed (0), but the spot history extended beyond the period covered by the charts (9), a probable but by no means conclusive estimate of the lifetime is twice the observed lifetime. Relatively few snots with life-- times of many years would disappear or form during the short period under observation. Most spots disappearing during the observed period probably had lives comparable to the period, especially since there was not a large population of spots which survived the entire observed period. Possible lifetime: If no definite end of a spot history was observed, but the observed ends were for reasons 1 (probable disappearance) or 8 (changed appearance), the observed lifetime was considered a possible estimate of the lifetime. Twice rossible half-lifetimes If one half of the spot history extended outside the observed period and the other end was either probably observed (1) or due to changed appearance (8), twice the observed lifetime was considered a possible estimate of the lifetime. Minimum lifetimes All other combinations of reasons why spots were not traced either before or after their observed duration yield no meaningful information concerning the true lifetime. If the spot history spanned the entire period of obs-rvation (both reasons 9), we can only say that its 39 observed history was a minimum 1iiitime foi the spot -en have been permanent, such as the Red Spot. the spot could ev- If the spot was lost due to gaps in the photographic coverage, ambiguity due 'to crowded adjacent spots and rapid motions, or any of the other reasons coded 2 through 7, there is no reliable information on more than the minimum lifetime of the spot. Un- fortunately, most spot lifetimes computed in this study are of this type. The only solution for clarifying information on the lifetimes of many of the smaller spots is to obtain improved photographic resolution and -- more importantly -- coverage. One and only one kind of lifetime was computed for each spot. These are listed in the tabulations in the appendix in the order described here. Asterisks fill the columns for the lifetimes not applicable to the spot. The following column, labeled "WHY" gives the reasons why the spot could not be followed prior to and after its observed period. Spot Motions It is customary to record spot motions in terms of longitudinal drifts relative to the adopted longitude system in 30 days. If the 30- day drift of a spot is called D, and the adopted longitude system rotates with a period Po (minutes), then the rotation period of the spot is given by P + (1) (D)(P2 15552000 Both the mean 30-day drift, computed between the observed longitudes on the first-and last days on which the spot was seen, and the rotation period are listed for each spot in the tabulations in the appendix. 40 The longitude at opposition, given in the fourth column of the tabulations, is computed from the mean drift for each spot and is not the true longitude of the spot on date of opposition (day number 80) when many of the spots were not even extant. For those soots lasting long enough to have measured positions at the ends of the six thirty-day intervals, computed for each interval. separate 30-day drifts were To provide a measure of the long'-term devi- ation from uniform motion of the longer-lived spots, the average deviation from the mean of these thirty-day drifts ("30DEV") was computed for each spot observed during at least two of the periods. To provide some infor- mation on systematic changes in motion, second, the mean drifts during the first, and last third of the observed part of the apparition were com- puted for each long-lived spot extant during those periods (these are called "DRIFTla, "DRIFT2", and aDRIFT3" in the tabulations). In order to trace spots across the gap in coverage caused by solar conjunction, the projected positions of spots on November 1, 1967, were computed for all spots lost in June due to the end of coverage (these longitudes are not tabulated here). Comparison of these longitudes with the spots observed in NIovember 1967, when combined with knowledge of typical variations in snot motions computed here, help to identify some larger spots with some assurance, even after a gap of four months. Spot Lengths The maximum and minimum lengths measured for each spot yield not only the mean length for each spot, but also a crude estimate of the typi- cal deviation in length for the spot. Tabulated in the column labelled "DL/L" is the quantity DL/L m max m max min (2) (in)/2 Since the accuracy in measuring the lengths of most spots, particularly the fuzzy ones, is no better than a degree or two, the quantity DL/L is not really representative of physical changes.in sizes of spots less than about half a dozen degrees in length. Future investigations of the spots will take such errors into account quantitatively. B. Characteristics of Currents The mean 30-day drifts for spots in each current were computed in two ways, neither of which is exactly identical to the procedures used in reductions of visual f01transits. First tabulated is the mean drift for all spots (except those observed only once), weighted by the number of observations of the spots. The weighting reduces the scatter caused by the unreliable drifts of very short-lived snots, but gives perhaps undue weight' to the prominent and long-lived spots. More comparable to the mean drifts calculated by amateur astronomers are unweighted averages of the mean drifts of all spots with observed lifetimes of 10 days or more. For both types of calculation of mean current drifts, the average deviation of the individual spots from the current mean is also tabulated. Both weighted and unweighted mean drifts (and average deviations) were also computed for dark spots, light spots, long spots (length over 7T5), and short spots (less than 705) in each current separately. All of the above compdtations were made separately-for three groups of spots: the definite spots, the definite and probable spots, and the definite-probable-possible spots. Just the definite-probable sample of spots was used for calculating additional mean characteristics for each current. following: These include the the mean of the long-term deviations of the six 30-day drifts from the spots' mean drifts; the mean of the typical short-ter in degrees from the spots' mean drifts deviations during 30-day intervals; the mean drift of all of the longer-lived spots in the current during the first, second, and last thirds of the apparition; the mean lifetime of those spots for which either definite or probable lifetimes were computed (the first four of the six lifetime categories); the mean proportion of spots in the current; the mean length of spots; and the mean DL/L length-deviation ratio of spots. Also presented are tables showing the distribution of spots by type and the size-frequency relationship for spots in each current. The numbers tabulated in each interval of length are the sums of the observed lifetimes of spots of that size; this yields a good approximation to the size distribution one might expect to see at any particular instant in 0. time. Relationshins between Spot Characteristics In order to test for any possible relationship between the size, shape, motion, color, or lifetimes of spots, all observed spots (without regard to current) were subdivided according to each characteristic and the means of the other characteristics were computed. The mean characteristics which were computed weres the mean of the long-term deviations from the individual 30-day drifts; the mean of the short-term deviations from mean drifts during 30 days; the mean lifetime for those spots having either probable or.definite lifetimes computed; the mean proportion; the mean length; the mean ratio of length deviation to length; the mean signed deviation of spot drifts from the means of the currents of which the spots are part; the number of dark and light spots; and the distribution of spots by type. The populations of spots for which the above characteristics were computed were: dark spots; light spots; spots less than 50 in length; spots elongated by a ratio near or exceeding 3; spots longitudinally elongated by a factor of about 2; approximately round spots; spots with latitudinal extents exceeding longitudinal lengths by a factor of about 2; spots with latitudinal elongations near or over a factor-of 3; spots drifting at least 30 per 30 days faster than the mean of their currents; spots moving similar to their currents; and spots moving at least 30 per 30 days slower than their currents. D. Size-Lifetime Relationships The preliminary numerical results of the size-lifetime relationship under study by R. Hide and the present author (for lifetimes measured in Months or less), are presented in the final tables in the appendix. Since it is uncertain whether spot lengths, or their total dimensions may be the physically most-meaningful parameter, the lifetimes are tabulated both in relationship to the mean length and to the mean area, where spot area (in square degrees) was computed approximately from the crude propor- tion estimates. The meaf of each of the six lifetimes is entered for sev- en sub-divisions by length or area. ticular category. Asterisks indicate no spots in a par- It can be seen from the tables that it is relatively difficult to obtain reliable lifetimes for the smaller sots and that their frequently shorter observed lifetimes are really just minimum lifetimes interrupted by gaps in good quality photographic coverage. V. SU4~MARY OF COO1CLUSIONS The empirical approaches described earlier have been applied, as a start, to all observed spots in the northern hemisphere of Jupiter (excluding the equatorial jet). The results, presented in the appendices, are largely self-explanatory and require little amplification here. I will, however, summarize some of the more obvious conclusions, after this word of caution: In assessing the significance of the differences in characteristics between groups of spots, it is important to take into account the sizes of the spot data samples being compared. These numbers are printed out explicitly only in Appendix 0; however the complete tabulations in Appendix B provide the same information. The comparisons of the spot populations of the three zonal regions containing statistically .- nificagt ntbers of spots, the INEBZ, INTB, and NEBn, reveal certain important differences. For instance, while the drifts of the individual spots in the 1iEBn generally vary from the mean drift for the current by only a few seconds, there is a substantially larger deviation in the NEBZ. This is, perhaps, to be expected since the NEBZ is the location of the strong latitudinal shear between the equatorial jet and the higher latitudes. Also, for the NEBZ and NTB, both dark spots and smaller spots seem to rotate more rapidly than light spots and larger spots. This may reflect some real variability of motion with color, but it is also possible that it simply reflects a small-scale variation in drift velocity with latitude since white spots and dark spots (for instance) in any given region do not necessarily average to the precise same latitude, The size-frequency tables are similar for the three regions in showing a peak frequency near 5 km. This may represent a true preferred size for eddies on Jupiter, but more likcely this simply reflects the setting in of incompleteness in the tabulations of the less-well-defined spots smaller than 50 due to resolution limitations of the photographs. The incremental population index of the spot size distribution is about -3 in the range 5 to 20 degrees; -3 is a dimensionally significant population index and should be compared with other meteorological scale distributions. The mean sizes and mean proportions of the spots are similar in the three regionsi however, the distributions of spots by type show significant differences. The sorting of spots in all latitudes into different groupings, p presented in Appendix C, demons between spot characteristics. -i-~ t:Os surp kiiigly few strong correlations Among the relationships which do seem significant are the tendency for dark spots to be rounder in comparison to more longitudinally-extended light spots, and the tendency for shorter spots to be rounder than the more longitudinally elongated longer spots. This last correlation may be expressed as a tendency for spots to be of relatively constant latitudinal width despite the longitudinal extension -undoubtedly due to the strong'zonality of Jupiter's atmosphere imposed by the planet's rapid rotation. Note also that longer spots tend to vary in length during their lifetimes more than do the shorter ones. The results on the lifetimes of spots are, unfortunately, tively inconclusive in this preliminary reduction of the charts. size-lifetime tables show little rela- The relationship between those parameters. Appendix A would seem to suggest that the lifetimes of spots in the NEBZ (the region of strong shear) are less than in might expect, the other regions, but observational bias renders the fact uncertain. column labelled "iTY" in as one As the the spot tabulations indicates, the general complexity of the NEBZ and the highly variable rates of drift in that region, render difficult the reliable determination of lifetimes; these uncertainties would bias against reliable determinations particularly of long lifetimes. Even for the relatively predictable NEBn, about half of the spots have completely undetermined true lifetimes. Further considera- tion of the problems of determining spot lifetimes from the patrol photographs is in progress. Preliminary comparison of the spot tabulations with the reduction of amateur astronomers' many disagreements. data for the same period (Budine, 1968), reveals Consideration of the reasons for these disagreements would be a fruitful direction for further research, especially since comprehensive reductions of the photographic patrol plates such as this one are not being planned on a regular basis and the amateur. reductions will be the only published information on Jupiter's spots for some years to come. VI. ACOiOWLEDGEMt; I first wish to thank Prof. Raymond Hide for his guidance and encouragement in early phases of my work on the Jupiter photographs. His enthusiasm for the study rekindled my earlier interest as a teenager in observational studies of Jupiter. Prof. Victor Starr has been very kind and concerned in overseeing the thesis to its completion. I have had use- ful discussions eith Dr. Norman Gaut and Dr. 'NormanMacdonald. My wife Jennalyn did the typing and was quite patient during the hectic last two weeks. The preparation of the photographic prints used for constructing the charts which served as the basis for this thesis was carried out under sub-contract to M.I.T. by New IMexico State University. Mr. :r. Bradford Smith, Elmer Reese, Mr. Thomas Kirby, and the rest of the staff of the N.M.S.U. Observatory were very cooperative throughout the project and hospitable during several lengthy visits I made to New Mexico. Mr. R. B. Minton was particularly helpful in solving some practical problems in producing the prints, most of which were made by Mrs. Judy Solberg. The construction of the charts, as well as the first part of my research assistantship, was supported by N.S.F. Grant GP 5053. The last terms of my assistantship, and minor additional costs in the analysis were supported by Contract AF96267-CC9 to the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories. vII REFERE!CES 1968, Jupiter in 1966-67: Rotation Periods, Journal of the Budine, P.

APPE1DICES These appendices contain tables printed out by the computer and comprise the quantitative results of the present study. The tables are not numbered but come in 4 parts. (A.) The first appendix lists the characteristics of the spot populations in each of the currents studied. The tabulations are self- explanatory and are described in Section IV-B. (B.) The second appendix comprises the tabulations, by current, of all the individual spots measured or generated as probable or possible conglomerates. ence number; (2) The columns are as follows. First page: (1) Spot refer- Limiting day numbers on which spot was observed (Nov.2, 1966 = day 1); (3) Projected longitude on date of opposition (day 80); (4) Number of observations of the snot; (5) Mean 30-day drift (degrees); (6) Rotation period; (7) Dark = 1, light = 2; (8) Fuzzy = 1, medium = 2, sharp = 3; (9) Spot proportions, 1 = long, 3 = round, 5 = tall, Spot type: 0 = round or oval, I = festoon, 0 = border; (10) 2 = wave or projection, 3 = angular, 4 = amorphous, 5 = variable shape, 6 - preceding border, 7 = following border; (11) Length in degrees; (12) Ratic of deviation in length to length; (13) Short-term deviation in driPt (degrees). Second page: (1) Spot reference number; (2-4) 30-day drifts during 1sts 2nd, and last thirds of period; (5) Mean deviation of succesive 30-day drifts; (6) Lifetimes; (7) Reasons why spot not followed before or after observed period (see Sect. III-B); (8) Days when particularly prominent. (C.) The third appendix lists the mean characteristics of 12 sub-divisions of all the spots. These tabulations are also self-explan- atory. (D.) The last appendix is short and is a tabulation of the life- time-length and lifetirme-area relationship, as described in Sect. IV-D. Note: In these appendices, asterisks are used in place of blanks. These usually indicate that there were no computed numbers in the particular category, usually because of no data. Several cases probably exist where numbers are omitted because of computational errors; the computer was programmed to store numbers larger than permissible by the output format for a variety of situations in which input data inconsistent with the logical flow of the program would otherwise have yielded incorrect re- sults. 52 c APP-EDIX A Characteristics of Currents Note: As can be seen from the spot tabulations in Appendix B, three currents (NEBZ, only NEBn, NTB) have a sufficiently large population of spots to permit meaningful intercomparisons of the mean characteristics given in Appendix A.
