Numerical experiments are conducted by means of the Yamagata-Flierl (1980, 1982) equation for eddies, on a scale intermediate between the Rossby deformation radius and the beta scale, for one zonal flow with linear shear and another with a sinusoidal velocity profile along the meridian. These experiments are used to investigate the lifetimes and motions of the intermediate scale eddies in the cases of linear shear zonal flow; the results obtained are compared with the development of the South Tropical Disturbance of 1979-1981 on Jupiter. Some of the disturbance's behavior is describable in terms of the evolution of an intermediate scale eddy. The experiments conducted are noted to yield a shorter lifetime than that observed in the South Tropical Disturbance.
