Extended Data Table 2 The weights matrix W used in the cost function L of equation (16)

From: Jupiter’s atmospheric jet streams extend thousands of kilometres deep

  1. Shown are the weights associated with J3, J5, J7 and J9 (diagonal terms) and those associated with the correlation between the harmonics (off-diagonal terms). The values reflect the uncertainties in the measurements, calculated taking the inverse of the measurement error covariance matrix multiplied by 9 (to reflect 3σ uncertainties). The larger the value, the larger the weight given to it when minimizing the cost function. Values shown are multiplied by 10−16.
