Abstract
⺠Keck and Gemini obs. were used in 2011 to create high-S/N near-IR images of Uranus. ⺠Cloud tracking defined a 250 m/s jet peak at 60°N and solid rotation poleward. ⺠Combined 1997-2011 winds define a small and persistent hemispheric asymmetry. ⺠Uranus' north polar region found to contain numerous small bright cloud features. ⺠Uranus' north polar region unlike its south polar region but similar to Saturn's.
