Scientific paper
The authors have recently presented evidence supporting the hypothesis that the long-lived large oval atmospheric eddies on Jupiter and Saturn, including Jupiter's anticyclonic Great Red Spot (GRS), are manifestations of 'slantwise' or 'sloping' convection in a rotating fluid. They now present laboratory findings that bear on the interpretation of the isolated nature of the GRS, including the crucial demonstration that a single intense stable baroclinic disturbance that is strongly localized in azimuth can form readily when the impressed conditions are close to the transition from axisymmetric to non-axisymmetric flow.
