Winds on Jupiter compared to Jupiter cloud structure In the Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) program, Amy Simon and coworkers use Hubble to image the four outer planets for two consecutive rotations every year. This chart includes 2016 OPAL data and the Jupiter cloud wind speeds that were measured from those images. You can download the data here.
