(2) CYLINDRICAL MAPS (PJ49-PJ72)

Most of the cylindrical maps in this batch were assembled by G.E. using a semi-automated procedure, sometimes followed by adjustments by J.R. to reduce artefactual disparities in brightness and color.  Hence, the color balance is still arbitrary. G.E. also produced methane-band (CH4) maps for all images, only some of which have been assembled and included here.

After PJ50, Juno’s minimum altitude was always on the dark side of Jupiter, so the maps are composites of inbound and outbound imagery. Up to PJ60, inbound images covered most of the planet -- sometimes over two successive rotations, so some regions could be mapped twice and ‘blinked’ to show the currents, though only the last inbound rotation gave high resolution.  The inbound trajectory did not give good views of the high southern latitudes, which were supplied from a subsequent outbound rotation. (G.E.’s separate maps for each rotation are available if needed.)  From PJ62 onwards, inbound coverage was reduced to only one sector of the northern hemisphere, and outbound coverage was still restricted to >~18°S.
