Abstract

Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data acquired around 2016-12-11 16:00 UT were used to measure the velocity field of Jupiter's Great Red Spot. The Hubble dataset is described in Tollefson et al. (2017) and Wong (2017), and the velocity extraction was performed with the ACCIV method described in Asay-Davis et al. (2009). A small subset of the resulting gridded velocity field is shown in a paper discussing small-scale waves observed with Juno's JunoCam imager (Orton et al. 2020), to compare the local wind field from the HST data with small-scale waves observed in JunoCam image 114. The velocity field that is shown in Fig. 6 of Orton et al. (2020) is an excerpt from the larger velocity field presented here.
