Basic Information of the global maps of Jupiter and Saturn.

Planet Filter (Wavelength) Number of Maps Observational Time Spatial Resolution

Saturn RED (647 nm) 1 Aug. 12, 2011 161 km/pixel
Saturn GRN (568 nm) 1 Aug. 12, 2011 161 km/pixel

Note: The wavelength corresponding to each filter represents the effective wavelength. The BL1 filter wavelength for Jupiter corresponds to the narrow-angle camera, while the BL1 filter wavelength for Saturn corresponds to the wide-angle camera in the ISS. Each global map of Jupiter and Saturn is constructed using several ISS images taken over 8–11 hours, with varying spatial resolutions. “RGB” refers to color global maps composed of three individual global maps captured using the RED, GRN, and BL1 filters, respectively. The two RGB maps of Saturn represent the original map and the feature-contrast-enhanced map, respectively. More information on these global maps of Jupiter and Saturn is available on the Planetary Atmospheres Node of NASA’s Planetary Data System (PDS) website (https://atmos.nmsu.edu/data_and_services/atmospheres_data/Cassini/sat_global_map.html).
