Recent observations of Jupiter's north north temperature belt current B

An outbreak of thirteen spots in Jupiter's North North Temperature Belt Current B was observed in 1972. These have been measured and compared with measures of the two most previous outbreaks. The drift in longitude of a hypothetical source supports both Reese's original hypothesis of a subsurface source, and Solberg's observation that its period is close to that of System 3. There is some evidence that long-enduring atmospheric features exist at lower, unobservable depths.
