The most famous Jovian cyclone is the Great Red Spot in the Southern Hemisphere, which has been known to exist for at least 180 years, and may have been around for at least twice that.

There are other persistent cyclones, of which the most notable is called Oval BA, sometimes nicknamed the Little Red Spot.

Because Jupiter has no energy-dissipating land masses under its surface, there is nothing to drain or divert its cyclones. It is believed that they maintain their energy from the heat transmitted up from Jupiter's core, and possibly from the powerful magnetic field produced by the rapidly-spinning planet.
