The distribution of methylamine in the Jovian atmosphere
Abstract
An estimate of the methylamine concentration on Jupiter has been made. The maximum production rate of 6 × 104cm-3 (Jovian day)-1 occurs in the vicinity of 60 km above the ammonia cloud layer. If the downward transport of methylamine equals the production rate, then the volumetric mixing ratio is 3 × 10-11.
