Dynamics of Saturn’s great storm of 2010–2011 from Cassini ISS and RPWS
Kunio M. Sayanagi,Kunio M. Sayanagi,Ulyana A. Dyudina,Shawn P. Ewald,Georg Fischer,Georg Fischer,Andrew P. Ingersoll,William S. Kurth,Gabriel D. Muro,Gabriel D. Muro,Carolyn C. Porco,Robert A. West +11 more
TL;DR: Fischer et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed images acquired with the Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) which captured the storm's birth, evolution, and demise, and also analyzed the Saturn Electrostatic Discharge (SED) signals detected by the Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) instrument.

Imke de Pater,Imke de Pater,Imke de Pater,L.A. Sromovsky,Patrick M. Fry,Heidi Hammel,Christoph Baranec,Kunio M. Sayanagi +7 more
TL;DR: In spite of an expected decline in convective activity following the 2007 equinox of Uranus, eight sizable storms were detected on the planet with the near-infrared camera NIRC2, coupled to the adaptive optics system, on the 10m W.M. Keck telescope on UT 5 and 6 August 2014 as discussed by the authors.
