Pretty neat - this is ionized oxygen emitting a bright green glow. That also happens in Earth tornados when the friction of the air mass movement basically rubs charges off oxygen and it emits light. So in some midwest tornados the sky turns green for awhile. I've actually seen it, been there. This does not happen in mild air movement, only high speed. It's clear Jupiter has monster tornado action.
Imagine the heat being produced under them clouds to generate that amount of cyclonic and anticyclonic activity? Thousands of storms the size of the pacific ocean and bigger.. You look at Jupiter storms you will see counter clockwise and then right next to many of them anticyclonic (right next to each other) https://www.flickr.com/photos/kevinmgill/with/52244100825/
The high gravity also causes violent atmosphere movements in part because there is quite high pressure on the gas molecules. It's not gentle and weak, downforces are strong. Countering that is rising gas caused by heat - Jupiter's core is hot.
I like to look at Jupiter as a Brown Dwarf star and not a planet. Jupiter puts out twice as much energy than it receives from the Sun. Jupiter is its own system. That link I sent you, checkout Juno's recent photos of Europa.. ((None of the science sites showed those pics)) https://www.flickr.com/photos/kevinmgill/page1
