The entire ocean is striped with 100-mile-wide bands of slow-moving water that extend right down to the seafloor

Sounds rather like the cloud bands on Jupiter...Do they alternate direction?

Regards,

And when Rose O’Donnell goes swimming in the ocean in her big red bikini, I guess that qualifies as the Red Spot.

BINGO! We have a winner!

I wonder if they have noticed the similarity to Jupiter yet...Now they need to discover a stationary, cyclonic eddy current between two bands and the analogy would be complete.

The article says the 'stripes' alternate in the direction they move. I don't know if individual stripes change direction.

......Sounds rather like the cloud bands on Jupiter......

Now that’s a very interesting thought. Fluid is fluid is fluid
