At the same time, there is significant convective activity along the South Temperate Belt's (STB) northern edge. Using amateur data, there now appears to be a correlation between this nearby activity and interactions with the GRS, driving vorticity changes. We hypothesize that this activity is responsible for the change in GRS aspect, and with corresponding changes in the GRS's internal flow field and vorticity, but this is only measureable from Hubble because of the required spatial resolution. These observations cannot wait until Cycle 22, as the STB activity is expected to cease around May 2014, based on historical accounts of longevity of this type of activity; in addition, Jupiter enters solar exclusion in May. Capturing the interaction would be a major achievement in understanding the energetic feeding of the GRS and constraining the mechanism that governs its long life. tbd SOLAR SYSTEM Default false false false false false SUPPORTED SOLAR SYSTEM Target GRS, at or near Central Meridian Longitude PLANET GRS Dynamics STD=JUPITER TYPE=PGRAPHIC,LONG=40,LAT=-22,R_LONG=0.33,EPOCH=21-APR-2014:10:07:20,EpochTimeScale=UTC EARTH SOLAR SYSTEM Target GRS, at or near Central Meridian Longitude PLANET GRS Dynamics STD=JUPITER TYPE=PGRAPHIC,LONG=40,LAT=-22,R_LONG=0.33,EPOCH=21-APR-2014:19:40:51,EpochTimeScale=UTC EARTH WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F631N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F502N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F395N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F469N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F487N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F631N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F502N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F395N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No FQ727N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No FQ889N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F631N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F631N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F502N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F395N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F469N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F487N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F631N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F502N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F395N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No FQ727N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No FQ889N WFC3/UVIS Imaging No No F631N Using ephemeris for target 13631-01-JUPITER-GRS ephemeris data for target 13631-01-JUPITER-GRS does not cover planning interval.
