We used the WF3 detector of the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 for full-disk images; its 0.09953-arc sec pixels (36) corresponded to about 375 km at the sub-spacecraft point on Jupiter. For the higher resolution PC1 detector, the 0.0455-arc sec pixels (36) subtended about 170 km at the sub-spacecraft point. Significant vignetting in the 889-nm methaneband filter determined the image position in the PC images (7). Rather than repoint the telescope several times in each orbit, we elected to retain the 889-nm pointing to maximize the number of images in each orbit. This constrained us to image only the southern half of Jupiter in PC sequences.

For those impacts where we detected waves, we used the center of the wave to identify the latitude and longitude of the impact site. We also looked for a central impact (that is, we looked for ejecta and used the material's position to estimate the impact location) and then used a circle of 3 or 5 pixels to define a center in this region. In most cases, we examined "before," "after," and later images of the site to make sure we had the best location estimate. We inferred impact times from the difference between predicted and inferred longitudes.

To find the plume heights, we first measured the x and y positions of the plume top and of the center of Jupiter (22). We then computed the distance from the plume top to the planet center and subtracted the distance from the planet center to the point on the limb below the impact. Finally, we added the vertical distance from the 100-mbar level of the impact site to the Earth line-of-sight for the longitude and time of the impact (for times, we used our estimates from Table 2). This rough calculation Is good to within the errors of our ability to define the planet center and plume top.

We navigated all the images in a given HST orbit to determine an average planet center and used this average planet center to extract and remap the region around each impact site onto a 20° by 20° longitude-latitude map, with 20 pixels per degree (22). From this map, we estimated the circle's central longitude by averaging the circle's east and west extrema and estimated its latitude by averaging the north and south extrema.

During the Voyager era, there were 13 ovals separated by about 25° longitude on average, with the maximum separation being 61°. If one assumed a missing oval, that implied a wave pattern with n = 14. The HST data show only seven ovals with longitudinal spacing ranging from 110° to 28°, with about 50° being most common. The eastward drift rate of the features has remained constant at about 0.6° per day.

Trauger and members of the WFPC2 Team for the marvelous instrument, and we also thank our anonymous referees for insightful comments on the manuscript. H.B.H. thanks C. Barnet and L. Gesner for support with software acquisition and development. These observations were made with the NASA-ESA Hubble Space Telescope, with support provided through grant G0-5624.08-93A from STScl, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy under NASA contract NAS5-26555.
