Scientific paper

The lifetimes and motions of dark and light spots in the equatorial regions of Jupiter have been studied for the 1972 apparition. The difference in lifetimes of the two types of spot is demonstrated, as are their differing modes of formation and disappearance. The way in which the spots interact is examined in detail, and it is pointed out that this may have implications for the fluid dynamics of the Jovian atmosphere.
