“This Voyager 2 image shows the region of Jupiter extending from the equator to the southern polar latitudes in the neighborhood of the Great Red Spot. A white oval, different from the one observed in a similar position at the time of the Voyager 1 encounter, is situated south of the Great Red Spot. The region of white clouds now extends from east of the red spot and around its northern boundary, preventing small cloud vortices from circling the feature. The disturbed region west of the red spot has also changed since the equivalent Voyager 1 image. It shows more small scale structure and cloud vortices being formed out of the wave structures. The picture was taken on July 3 from 6 million kilometers (3.72 million miles).”

“Figure 5-7: At a distance of 3.72 million miles from Jupiter, Voyager 2 obtained this remarkably clear picture of the Great Red Spot. A region of white clouds now extends from east of the Red Spot and around its northern boundary, preventing small cloud vortices from encircling the feature. The disturbed region west of the Red Spot has also changed since the time when Voyager 1 flew past Jupiter. It now displays more small-scale structure and cloud vortices that are being formed out of the wave structures. A white oval has moved beneath the spot; it is not the same oval that was beneath the spot when Voyager 1 flew by.”
Also:
“Image showing the Great Red Spot and a white oval, taken by Voyager 2 from a distance of 6 million km on 3 July 1979, six days before its closest approach to Jupiter. The white oval is not the same structure seen on the Voyager 1 images taken a few months earlier, and other aspects of the atmosphere have changed slightly since Voyager 1's flyby. The Great Red Spot is about 12,000 km from top to bottom and north is at 11:00.”

Finally:
“Complex activity in the southern hemisphere of Jupiter continued during the Voyager 2 encounter, although changes had occurred in the region of the Great Red Spot. A white oval, different from the one observed in a similar position at the time of the Voyager 1 encounter, was situated south of the Red Spot. The region of white clouds extended from east of the Red Spot and around its northern boundary, preventing small cloud vortices from circling the feature. The disturbed region west of the Red Spot had also changed since the equivalent Voyager 1 image. The picture was taken on July 3 from a distance of 6 million kilometers.”
