Voyager 1 Jupiter Images – NEB/NTrZ boundary

This is a nine frame Voyager 1 mosaic showing mainly the North Equatorial Belt (NEB), the North Tropical Zone (NTrZ) and their turbulent boundary. This mosaic shows lots of various features. A jet stream is visible in central NTrZ and examples of the NEB plumes are also visible. Gravity waves can be seen near (1900,1980) in the mosaic. Notice that boundaries where there is a major change in the color and/or brightness of the clouds usually appear sharp at this resolution. The images comprising the mosaic were obtained by Voyager 1 on March 3, 1979 at a range of 2.4 million km from Jupiter's center. The resolution of original data is ~24 km/pixel.
