Connecticut: Scientists have been observing the shrinking of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot for over a century and are attempting to find out why.
Caleb Keoney, a Ph.D. student at Yale University, suggests that smaller storms, which feed the Great Red Spot, may no longer be able to sustain it.
Caleb and a team of researchers have created 3D models of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot and used a model known as the Explicit Planetary Isentropic-Coordinate (EPIC) model, which is used to study planetary atmospheres.
