| 内容記述 | The puzzle presented by Neptune's circulation is evidenced by its wide spectrum of wind speeds and differences between the drift rate of its longest lived features and its finer scale cloud forms, unlike Jupiter or Saturn. Neptune's clouds appear dynamic and show strong evidence of atmospheric waves, making cloud motion measurements somewhat difficult and requiring some departures from the methods which have been traditionally used to determine atmospheric circulations. New measurements of cloud motions of Neptune that confirm the general characteristics reported by Smith et al. (1989) are presented below. Besides greater number of measurements from a higher time resolution data set, the new results reveal the shape of the westerly jet at 72 deg S latitude. |
