"The 2007 fading was terminated rather early, but in the other years, the SEB was almost absent, as at present."Contra Matt, I would point to the fact that three of the first four SEB fades occurred during the year of a NBER business cycle peak: 1973, 1990, and 2007. Whether the Jupiter cloud belt is a lagging or leading indicator, I cannot be sure. Regardless, I think the writing is on the wall (er, Jupiter atmosphere) that we are about to experience a double-dip recession.
