Gas giants with continents

[daniel l.]

Gas giants have no land. But if you were to construct floating artificial continents in the atmosphere, What would the cloud bands look like?

I suppose it would depend on how high up the 'continents' are, and how far apart they are. Let's say the floating colonies (I will not go into how hard it is to get something to float on a gas giant, I'll leave it at 'magic' for the purpose of staying on topic) are at the same level as the clouds. My guess is the bands would go around the continents in similar ways to how global air currents move around the continents here on Earth. They might mix together a lot more than they would normally, and turn into big random-looking swirls that would look like Earth's clouds. The continents would get pushed around a lot faster than they do on Earth, so these air currents would rapidly change and be even less predictable than what we have here.
