CIrcumpolar Cyclones on Jupiter Mission Juno www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/think-tank?id=17"Morphological considerations as well as time-lapse animations are a first step of describing the short-term dynamics of the vortex patterns." "Long-term observations include the evolution of the overall pattern of the circumpolar cyclones. Since Juno's first observation of Jupiter's polar region, in JunoCam images, we see a south polar cyclone slightly displaced from the south pole. This south polar cyclone is surrounded by five circumpolar cyclones. This pentagonal pattern oscillated a bit, but in the longer run it turned out to be astonishingly stable with respect to Jupiter's L3 coordinate system. Astonishingly, since the surroundings of the CPCs appear to behave much more chaotically. The north pole has been just behind the terminator on Jupiter's night side since the beginning of the mission. JunoCam has been able to observe eight circumpolar cyclones (CPCs) around the north pole. JunoCam was able to identify parts of a pretty large anticyclone closer to the north pole than the CPCs during one of the perijoves. Towards a north polar cyclone JunoCam has only been able to detect vague hints. These eight northern CPCs are forming an almost regular ditetragonal pattern. A ditetragon is like a regular octagon, except each second corner displaced radially by a common amount. The north polar octagon turned out to be rather stable with respect to L3, too." That is obviously a "ball-bearing" force-field creating this btw. magneto would be proud. Southpoles 5 circumpolar - its 1 polar cylcone = 4 Northpoles 8 circumpolar - its 1 polar cyclone = 7 @path looks like you were right.
