So, Korjik, you are not doing anyone a favor by insisting that the GRB be referred to as a high pressure system that is somehow in contrast to hurricanes on Earth. I mean, should we refer to hurricanes on Earth as high pressure systems? You're only adding to the prevailing (popular, mainstream) confusion.

No, you dont really understand what I am saying.
I will put it really simply.
On the Earth, in the Northern hemisphere, a Low pressure system rotates counterclockwise
On the Earth, in the Northern hemisphere, a High pressure system rotates clockwise
On the Earth, in the Southern hemisphere, a Low pressure system rotates clockwise
On the Earth, in the Southern hemisphere, a High pressure system rotates counterclockwise
All these are measured and known and are a result of the coriolis effect. Since we have no reason to think that physics works differently on Jupiter than on Earth we end up with:
On Jupiter, in the Northern hemisphere, a Low pressure system rotates counterclockwise
On Jupiter, in the Northern hemisphere, a High pressure system rotates clockwise
On Jupiter, in the Southern hemisphere, a Low pressure system rotates clockwise
On Jupiter, in the Southern hemisphere, a High pressure system rotates counterclockwise
Now, when we look at the GRS, we see it is on Jupiter, in the southern hemisphere, and rotates counterclockwise. That means it is a high pressure system.
Looking at Hurricane Katrina, we see it is on Earth, in the northern hemisphere, rotates counterclockwise, and is a low pressure system, and therefore fits our model.
the fact that a northern hemisphere low pressure system rotates the same direction as a southern hemisphere high pressure system is expected, not some strange missing effect that only you can see.
You really should learn basic physics to see how the universe works, and how well it works.
