Scientific paper

It is shown that a permanent isolated vortex like the Great Red Spot of Jupiter can be obtained as the most probable state in an atmosphere with strong turbulent mixing. A quasi-geostrophic model on a beta-plane is used for a shallow layer floating on a deep underlying fluid. This method can also be modified to any dynamical model that is fully determined by the material conservation of a potential vorticity.
