Jupiter's atmosphere is dominated by the presence of alternating jets in latitude and large-scale vortices. In the rapidly rotating Jovian atmosphere, large anticyclones are stable features on time-scales of months to centuries. The largest and most famous is the Great Red Spot (GRS). The second largest anticyclone was formed in the period 1998-2000 from the fusion of three large anticyclones known as "White Ovals" which had been present in the same latitude band since the 1940s. This oval was named BA and it was white as its predecessors until it experienced a reddening in late 2005 that make it more similar to the GRS. Here we follow the global behaviour of this oval since its formation, present detailed measurements of its internal flow field, characterize the color change and present models and simulations of its internal structure and interaction with the zonal jets and the GRS.
