Jupiter, Great Red Spot

Scientific paper

The Italian Union of Amateur Astronomers (UAI) has a large collection of digital values of rotation periods of features on Jupiter's atmosphere. In this paper, the data obtained for visible features around the Great Red Spot are used to examine the nature of the Spot itself. It results (as it is well known) that the Taylor's column hypothesis is not acceptable. The data show that the Spot shares a large velocity field like the large atmospheric storms at low Earth latitudes. The approximate value of the vertical velocity inside the atmosphere is estimated. It is deduced that on large scale the Jovian atmosphere is stratified like, for example, water and oil. This condition is described by the hydrostatic equilibrium.
