Abstract
⺠The 2009-10 whitening of Jupiter's SEB was the first complete SEB life cycle since 1992-1993. ⺠Upwelling increased the infrared opacity of the SEB several months before the whitening. ⺠A cool zone-like region formed in Jupiter's convective troposphere before the visible fade began. ⺠Enhanced ice condensation likely caused the dramatic clouding over of the SEB. ⺠The revival required sublimation of these ices to reveal the belts typical brown colours.
