Buoyancy is the key reason why jupiter's Great Red Spot is anticyclonic. On Earth cyclones are formed when gases rise up and are met with rotational spin. On Jupiter cyclones are formed when gases sink back down to the planet's metallic surface. Gases rise from the super heated core, and as they cool they sink back down. That combined with rotational motion forms the characteristic vortices.

It's 2022 just before Ian makes landfall and I know this is reviving an old video but... Instead of categorizing hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, tornadoes by just wind speed and the resulting amount of destruction, we need to start adding in the rate at which things are destroyed or redistributed. The faster buildings and foliage destroyed and the rate of convection occurs should be the overall determinate for these purported "megastorms"

correction ... typhoons hold the torch if any storms do ... the strongest storm on record with the lowest pressure is still Super Typhoon Tip back in 1979. then one of the most potent typhoons also was Super Typhoon haiyan (also called super typhoon yolanda in phillipines) back in 2013. also asias' "hurricane season" typhoon season often see 2x more storms than the US season. the atlantic average is 10.1 storms per year ... the western pacific avg 26 typhoons a year. another fun fact : a hurricane low pressure at the surface spins counter-clockwise and the outflow at the top of the storm spins clockwise. thats why you see the main storm spinning counter clockwise but you still see some clouds moving in an unnatural looking way clockwise

People noticed that as a hurricane traveled through mainland, fallen trees would point in the direction the wind had pushed them. Hurricanes that traveled to the north through land were easiest to identify. Fallen trees to the West of a hurricane's strongest winds always pointed South. Fallen trees to the East always pointed North. Fallen trees within the path of the strongest winds immediately to its West pointed West because the left side of the hurricane was more impactful there and immediately did more damage, whereas trees immediately to the East pointed East, as the backside of the hurricane packed more of a punch on this side. It looked something like this. Imagine that a hurricane has traveled North through the land and you notice, after looking at the damage, this pattern of fallen trees: T = Standing Tree v = Fallen, Pointing South > = Fallen, Pointing East < = Fallen, Pointing West ^ = Fallen, Pointing North / = Fallen, Pointing Southwest \ = Fallen, Pointing Northwest Hurricane's Path Northward ^ T T T T T T T T v v v v v v v v v / / / < < < < < > > | < > > > > > \ \ \ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T v v v v v v v v v / / / < < < < < > > | < > > > > > \ \ \ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T v v v v v v v v v / / / < < < < < > > | < > > > > > \ \ \ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T v v v v v v v v v / / / < < < < < > > | < > > > > > \ \ \ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T v v v v v v v v v / / / < < < < < > > | < > > > > > \ \ \ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T v v v v v v v v v / / / < < < < < > > | < > > > > > \ \ \ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T v v v v v v v v v / / / < < < < < > > | < > > > > > \ \ \ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T v v v v v v v v v / / / < < < < < > > | < > > > > > \ \ \ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T v v v v v v v v v / / / < < < < < > > | < > > > > > \ \ \ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T v v v v v v v v v / / / < < < < < > > | < > > > > > \ \ \ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ T T T T T T T T They noticed that the trees could only fall in this consistent pattern if a large, swirling eddy of wind passed through, rather than a straight line wind. More immediately, though, those who experienced the center of a hurricane noticed that the winds would blow from one direction, stop as the eye passed over, and then come just as fiercely from the opposite direction. They deduced that the eye was the center of a tempest and that the storm system in the strongest part of the hurricane orbited it. Fascinating how they were able to figure that out without satellites to aid them. Very smart and observant cultures, indeed.

For the answer in the challenging question the answer is this : The G.R.S(Great Red Spot) is an anticyclone because a cylcone has low atmospheric pressure but the anti cyclone has high atmospheric pressure.Its high pressure because of jupiters temperature, jupiters temparature is -145Degrees(-261 F) at your video you said at the carnoa engine if "if pressure is high heat is low"(not exactly u said) so all that in short means the G.R.S(Great Red Spot) is an anticyclone

Oil is a precious thing - fossilised sunlight captured by tiny, brainless organisms that lived for a mere instant in geological time. Yet every year we burn more and more of what we have less and less of. Are we mining the aftermath of past climate catastrophes simply to engineer our own? It would be ironic indeed if the end of our oil age becomes the start of the earth's next great phase of oil formation. One thing is clear - love it or loathe it, we've all become part of oil's extraordinary story.

The GRS spins counter-clockwise because it is being "pushed" west by an air current north of it, and east by an air current south of it.

Don't forget that Hurricane Patricia hit 214 mph in 2015.

Came here to learn more about cyclones after a cycle of destruction came through Mexico, California & Nevada 2023.

Why does Jupiter's Red spot spin the wrong way? Without googling it, my guess is that the apparent rotation of Jupiter might be more analogous to the directions of Earth's winds than Earth's surface; assuming Earth's air rotation is the opposite direction to the rotation of the Earth's surface due to inertia making the air more prone to stay where it was. So while Jupiter may appear to be rotating in the same direction as Earth, the fact its (gaseous) surface is spinning in the opposite direction to earth's airflow is more important to this question.

Hurricanes are not engines of destruction. A habitat bounces back easily after a hurricane. You could say it's only a "disaster" if there are human structures in the way. Same goes for many other natural disasters really - floods, forrest fires, etc.
