The scientists behind the new images took pictures
of Jupiter using Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 over a ten - hour
period and have produced two maps
of the
entire planet from the
observations.
To that end, an NSF - funded $ 21 million initiative called Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate
Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM) run by Princeton University, and including Climate Central, MBARI, Scripps, University
of Washington, University
of Arizona and others, was launched in 2014 with the goal
of deploying over a six - year
period a fleet
of autonomous, robotic floats, capable
of observing the Southern Ocean (for the first time) year - round and across the
entire expanse.
