Interaction of Saturn’s Hexagon With Convective Storms

Abstract

four outbreaks of convective storms took place sequentially at planetographic latitudes from 66.7°N to 74.7°N, disturbing a whole latitude band spanning a width of ∼8,000 km (Sánchez-Lavega et al., 2020). Subsequently and throughout 2019, no new storms occurred, although the entire region between latitudes 66°N and 75°N presented numerous spots and white and dark areas (in visible wavelengths) difficult to track due to their low contrast and variability in short time scales (Figure S1).
