15. 6 km over a 2.3-hour period on 3 March 2007 with 5.0-s exposure times. Pixel resolution is 28 km/pixel on the sky, corresponding to 50 km in latitude at 60°N.
16. Lightning strikes could be distinguished from cosmic ray hits and auroral features by their distinctive shapes. Because of slight spacecraft nodding motions, constant-brightness point sources such as stars produce curlicue features in our 5-s exposures, unlike our short-lived lightning strikes. Lightning flashes produce a bright central flash surrounded by a halo of light due to diffuse scattering by the overlying atmosphere. Lightning energies were calculated using the spectral irradiance of jovian lightning determined by Borucki et al. (31). The latitudes and longitudes of lightning flashes are determined by a limb/terminator fitting program that generates the planetary ellipse based on the range, camera focal length, and pixel scale. With sufficient contrast between the sky and the planet, the ellipse center is located with an iterative least-squares fit, typically with a precision of 0.1 pixel or better. For low-contrast images, the ellipse is placed manually with an uncertainty of a few pixels.

28. 6 km, a phase angle of 76°, a subsolar latitude near 2.9°S, and a subspacecraft latitude of 8.4°S. The three-color image (middle right of Fig. 2), is composed of a 1.59-μm continuum wavelength image (red), a 1.90-μm wavelength image of moderate atmospheric gas absorption (green), and a 1.85-μm wavelength image of relatively strong absorption gas (blue). Blue accentuates high-altitude clouds and hazes above the 300 mbar level, green depicts clouds most prominently near and above the 600-mbar level, and red shows clouds down to several bars. The 4.8-μm pseudo-color images were acquired at NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) at 10:08 UT on 30 December 2000 by the National Science Foundation camera (NSFCam) camera and on 18 March 2007 at 14:53 UT by the NSFCam2 camera. The 17.9-μm images were acquired by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's MIRLIN (Mid-Infrared Large-well Imager) camera (32) at 5:50 UT on 29 December 2000 and by the MIRSI (Mid-Infrared Spectrometer and Imager) camera/spectrometer (33) at 16:12 UT on 18 March 2007.
