CIPS observation of PMC albedo observed during Orbit 06972 on August 5, 2008 between about 12:10 and 12:20 UT above northern Scandinavia. The color scale is linear from 0 to 40 × 10−6/sr. The data is plotted from CIPS Version 4.20R4.

(top left) HST ACS images of the northern hemisphere in two very similar geometries. (bottom left) While Io's S3 longitude is nearly the same, the Io footprint is not visible, while it would be expected to lie at the border of the unusually equatorward patch of diffuse emission. This emission patch appears to be the remnant of a large injection blob seen 34 hours before in the southern hemisphere, (right) as shown on the polar projection. This disappearance of the Io footprint is unique within more than 10 years of high-resolution/high sensibility HST images and may be due to a disrupted interaction between Io and the depleted flux tubes connected to the patch.

Geography and geometry of the observations. (top) Illustration of temporal mean of zonally averaged Atlantic meridional overturning stream function (i.e., mean streamlines in the N/S and vertical plane) from the JPL ECCO numerical model state estimate analysis in units of Sv (106 m3 s−1). Contour interval is 2 Sv. Letters highlight northward flow in the Gulf Stream/North Atlantic Current system (GS, NAC) and Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW), and southward flow in the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW). (bottom) Map showing the location of the MOVE moorings spanning the approximately 1000 km of the deep basin between coast and Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and schematic flow of NADW in the deep western boundary current (arrows). The actual flow path is more complex with recirculations and additional interior pathways

Mean annual tropical cyclone (TC) days across the tropics, 1985–2009, with the most active areas shown in dark blue. Graphs present the mean annual TC days for all study area pixels (black line) and for all reef locations (orange bars) binned by 1° latitude and longitude in each hemisphere

: Temperature trends (in K/decade) for summer conditions from LIMA run 1, i.e., including CO2, O3 and stratospheric effects. Trends are determined in two periods, namely (top) 1979–1997 and (bottom) 1997–2009, respectively. Solar cycle effects have been removed.

Coverage of CIRS observations and the emitted power of Titan at the reference altitude of 500 km. (a) Time mean (2004–2010) wavenumber-integrated radiance in the plane of latitude and emission angle. The wavenumber-integrated radiance in Figure 2a is over the spectral range of 10–1430 cm−1. The radiance with emission angle less than 57° at the altitude of 500 km comes from CIRS nadir observations, and the radiance with emission angle larger than 57° comes from CIRS limb observations. All CIRS observations of Saturn's atmosphere with two spectral resolutions (15.5 cm−1 2.8 cm−1) between October 2004 and November 2010 are averaged. CIRS observations with other spectral resolutions, which have negligible spatial coverage, are not included in this study. (b) Meridional distribution of the emitted power. The thick line is the profile of the emitted power and vertical lines represent the uncertainties. The estimated uncertainty is combined by the uncertainty related to the filling observational gaps and the uncertainty related to the calibration.
