PJ-12 images reprojected to the image stop time of
#090 #091 #092 #093 #094 #099 And several reprojections close to the northern minimum emission angle along Juno's PJ12 trajectory. An exaple application: Image #092 patched with image #099: I've also submitted to missionjuno a very first attempt to animate the region near the GRS from #092's vantage point. |

The Great Red Spot has some strikingly – and not trivial – 3D appearance to my eye. Besides an overall bulge, I see what seems to be a single swirl around the western portion that appears to be at a higher altitude than the other clouds, and/or it swirls outside the rest of the GRS around the ten o'clock position (north=up). In principle, this could all be illusion on an essentially flat (at the given resolution) single layer, but it certainly makes me wonder if, given the right ground truths about how shading and color work, we could reconstruct a good 3D model that would be pretty complex.
We've seen the GRS at better resolution, but this oblique view is really striking even if the 3D I think I see is a trompe l'oeil. |

First, I'm astonished, how fast Seán was able to compose such a seamless and smooth result.
And yes, from that distance, and far away from the terminator, we can't expect to see an obvious 3D texture. Jupiter's colors sometimes are rather suggestive of 3D structures that cannot be real. I guess, that an SfS algorithm would misinterprete colorization as structure like our human vision does. But nevertheless, there appears to exist evident layering of orangish haze above whitish cloud tops right of the GRS in this image. |

...it certainly makes me wonder if, given the right ground truths about how shading and color work, we could reconstruct a good 3D model that would be pretty complex. There are variational tomographic methods that can do this sort of thing, at least on Earth as described in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omoxhoa4iPc -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

Some processed images from PJ12
Some really fascinating cloud motions in a region of the North Equatorial Belt: Image taken at perijove - spectacular examples of the small cyclonic systems all over the NEB: Streaky high-altitude clouds and gaps presumably exposing the deeper colorless water vapor cloud deck. The patterns of the surrounding high altitude clouds remind me a lot of transverse cirrus bands that form when convective systems are interacting with jet streams. Finally, the closest shot of the South Temperate Disturbance. Lots going on here! |

Those are fantastic results, Seán!
This PJ12 flyby is so incredibly rewarding. ...Now better fasten your seat-belts, before you scroll down on this site of PJ12 partial south polar maps. This preliminary version is also submitted to missionjuno/processing. I'll need some sleep now, before I'll try to create some refined versions. |

PJ12 HD flyby, MP4, and JPG stills (2.2 GB) . I've also added stills of the overexposed northern images, which aren't included into the final MP4 product.
I'll continue to work on some pending maps and cloud animations, today. |
