Abstract
The atmospheric activity in the equatorial region of Jupiter, approxim ately in the zone between the zenocentric latitude +/-12 degrees has b een studied during the period 1963-1967 by computing the photometric c oefficient of activity. A north-south asymmetry has been found. Differ ent periodicities of the activity for zones of different latitudes are found.
