According to Golitsyn's hypothesis, the Jupiter Red Spot is a giant vortex capable of lasting for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years. It is suggested that a sort of model of this vortex exists on earth: the system of cyclic currents in the Atlantic Ocean between 10 and 40 degrees N. The system of currents is approximated by a group of cofocal ellipses with the larger axis along 25 degrees N and a common focus at the 70 degrees W. The outer boundary is an ellipse with a larger axial length of 5200 km and a smaller axial length of 3200 km. The jupiter Red Spot, located between two counter-directed zonal flows, is thought, according to Golitsyn's hypothesis, to have resulted from the hydrodynamic effects of the two flows, effects analogous to those experienced by the cyclic current system in the Atlantic under the action of zonal circulation in the atmosphere.
