Spot (Gas Giant)

A spot is an anticyclonic storm or a tropical cyclone on a gas giant (planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). Famous spots include the Great Red Spot on Jupiter and the Great Dark Spot on Neptune. Spots usually last much longer than Earth's tropical cyclones, and are typically confined to one atmospheric band of the planet. Spots form from smaller eddies and ovals that merge together overtime, such as Oval BA (a.k.a. Little Red Spot).
