The Juno spacecraft has examined spatial variability and evolution in time in Jupiter's deep atmosphere at depths corresponding to a range of 0.7 to over 200 bars of atmospheric pressure. We have examined the relationship the variability in the deep atmosphere might have with large-scale changes that are noted at visible wavelengths as well as cloud-opacity-sensitive thermal emission at wavelengths near a 5-micron atmospheric window that is modulated most strongly by cloud particles in the 0.7-5 bar range. In general, the microwave brightness often but not always corresponds to changes apparent in the visible or the 5-micron thermal emission. Current work is assessing which variabilities in the zonal-mean microwave brightness are the result of inhomogeneous distribution of zonally discrete features as opposed to real variations in time.
