Having studied about Jupiter's atmosphere recently, I do believe it is very likely the spot was caused by the very violent atmosphere of Jupiter since it is pretty much gaseous. I mean just look at the big red spot.

Plus the Cassini is one of the most amazing missions that was conducted by Nasa. Having analyzed data about Saturn's magnetic field obtained by Cassini gave a pretty good idea about the scope of the research that can be conducted by it. I'm no American, but I do appreciate most of the missions Nasa does in investigating the planets in the solar system.
