Abstract
⺠We study in detail the evolution of the 2010 Great White Spot from December 2010 to September 2011. ⺠The GWS evolved into a planetary-scale disturbance in 50 days showing plenty of wavelike features. ⺠The GWS formed a unique long-lived large vortex (size â¼Â 7000 km). ⺠The GWS head remained visible at optical wavelengths for 6.5 months. ⺠The zonal wind profile maintained its structure with maximum changes of 45 m sâ1.
