Jupiter's clouds - 890 nnmts filter
To the North-West (above and to the left) of the dark feature is a small cloud that is bright in the 619-nnmts image but has no contrast at the other wavelengths. This is the signature expected for a thick water cloud. Another feature seen only in the weak-methane ratio is a dark ring near the center of the image. 
This feature is probably a counter-clockwise rotating, upwelling core surrounded by a sinking perimeter with diminished cloudiness. The fact that it is seen only in the weak methane ratio indicates the effects of a lower-level circulation that does not penetrated to the upper ammonia cloud level and may be confined to the deeper water cloud.

The opposite behavior is evident in an oval storm that appears dark in 727 and 890 nnmts images, but is absent in the weak 619-nnmts frame. It is located to the South-West of the Great Red Spot. Further to the West - at slightly more Northerly Latitudes - are a series of small spots that are dark at all wavelengths. 
These and a myriad of other contrast features at many latitudes reveal much about Jupiter's complicated cloud structure and meteorology.
