Changes in Jupiter’s Zonal Wind Profile preceding and during the Juno mission

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present five epochs of WFC3 HST HST Jupiter observations taken between 2009-2016 and extract global zonal wind profiles for each epoch, finding that the largest uncertainties in the wind field are due to vortices or hot-spots.
Journal ArticleDOI

A New Dark Vortex on Neptune

TL;DR: SDS-2015 was discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in 2015 as mentioned in this paper, and the size of the dark spot did not exceed 20 degrees of longitude, more than a factor of two smaller than the Voyager dark spots, but only slightly smaller than previous northernhemisphere dark spots.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vertical wind shear in Neptune's upper atmosphere explained with a modified thermal wind equation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors track the positions of ∼100 bright atmospheric features over a 4-5 h window on each night to derive zonal velocities and wind profiles, which deviate from the smooth Voyager zonal wind profile from Sromovsky et al. (1993), often by 100-200m/s, and often by 3-10 times their estimated uncertainties.
