Uranus' southern circulation revealed by Voyager 2: Unique characteristics

- Voyager 2 images of Uranus were reprocessed revealing many new discrete features.
- An accurate rotational profile was determined where only one data point was known before.
- Uranus' atmosphere rotated with an extreme north-south asymmetry.
- Kinks were found in the rotational profile, including a zone of very low rotational shear.
- One zone was bland to the 18 ppm level, or a signal-to-noise ratio of 55,000.
