From IRTF-NSFCAM 5-micron Jupiter images obtained regularly over a period of more than two years, we have determined that there are sharp peaks in the probability of finding NEB hot spots at several longitudes of a system that is the result of correcting System III for a horizontal speed of 102 - 103 m/s. Although most of the hot spots change their morphology in time scales of days and even disappear after some time, they tend to form again at several fixed positions in this longitude system. The highest peaks in the probability are obtained using a speed correction of 102.7 m/s. We would not expect to observe these peaks if the locations of the hot spots were randomly distributed in longitude. Seven of the 9 maxima are separated by ~ 38 +/- 5 degrees except for a longitudinal region where the peaks only show if we use a correction of 103.2 m/s. A preliminary physical interpretation is presented.
