The 800 - 1200 inverse centimeter absorption spectrum of Jupiter.
Abstract
Synthetic spectra computed from radiative models of the Jovian thermal structure are compared with observed spectra. The results imply a subsaturated NH3 abundance near the temperature minimum, and an additional opacity source near 1100 kaysers. Evidence is found for the presence of PH3 consistent with a solar P abundance.
