That may make sense: If the upper layers of the gasses are warmer in
Saturn then
expected, then the warm may move toward cold, or toward the South Pole.
Weird because one expects the upper gasses to be colder normally, and
the gasses at the South Pole are closer to the planet's inner heat
because Saturn is wider than its height by a great distance. Just a
puzzle why there is that bullseye hwirl. Thanks for the info.
