    High spatial and spectral resolution 10-micron observations of Jupiter (1980)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Ten-micrometer spectra of the North Tropical Zone, North Equatorial Belt, and Great Red Spot at a spectral resolution of 1.1/cm are compared to synthetic spectra. These ground-based spectra were obtained simultaneously with the Voyager 1 encounter with Jupiter in March, 1979. The NH3 vertical distribution is found to decrease with altitude significantly faster than the saturated vapor pressure curve and is different for the three observed regions. Spatial variability in the NH3 mixing ratio could be caused by changes in the amount of NH3 condensation or in the degree of the NH3 photolysis. The C2H6 emission at 12 microns has approximately the same strength at the North Tropical Zone and North Equatorial Belt, but it is 30% weaker at the Great Red Spot. A cooler temperature inversion or a smaller abundance of C2H6 could explain the lower C2H6 emission over the Great Red Spot.

    High-resolution spectra of Jupiter in the 744-980 inverse centimeter spectral range (1979)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Spectra of the central 5 in region of Jupiter in the 744 to 980 kayser spectral range are presented at 0.05 and 0.28 kayser resolution. The gases (N-14)H3, (N-15)H3, and PH3 are observed in absorption, and C2H2 and C2H6 observed in emission. A synthetic spectrum which included the opacity from the H2, (N-14)H3, (N-15)H3, and PH3 is compared with observations. It is concluded that: (1) the (N-14)H3 line profiles are best fitted with a NH3 density in the troposphere which is 0.5 times the saturated vapor pressure density and an opaque cloud at the 0.56 bar pressure level, (2) the best fit (N-15)H3/(N-14)H3 ratio is 0.006, (3) the PH3/H2 abundance ratios of NH3 and PH3 must be highly subsaturated above the tropopause or the temperature inversion is cooler than model predictions.

    The abundances of CH4, CH3D, NH3, and PH3 in the troposphere of Jupiter derived from high-resolution 1100-1200/cm spectra (1982)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: High-resolution spectra of the 1100-1200/cm region of the central part of Jupiter obtained in March 1980 and April 1981 are analyzed. The best fit NH3 distribution curve reveals a higher than solar mixing ratio, the abundance of NH3 to that of H2 being (3.3 + or - 1.7) x 10 to the -4th, below the 147 K layer (greater than 0.6 atmosphere). If NH3 ice particles are introduced as an opacity source, the NH3 mixing ratio below the 147 K layer can be lowered, but the fit is worse than that given by the model that excludes NH3 ice particles. The best fit PH3 distribution curve exhibits a PH3/H2 mixing ratio of (8.3 + or - 2.0) x 10 to the -7th in the troposphere. In addition, a CH4/H2 mixing ratio of (2.5 + or - 0.4) x 10 to the -3rd is found in the troposphere.

    The infrared spectrum of Jupiter (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The principal characteristics of Jupiter's infrared spectrum are reviewed with emphasis on their significance for our understanding of the composition and temperature structure of the Jovian upper atmosphere. The spectral region from 1 to 40 microns divides naturally into three regimes: the reflecting region, thermal emission from below the cloud deck (5-micron hot spots), and thermal emission from above the clouds. Opaque parts of the Jovian atmosphere further subdivide these regions into windows, and each is discussed in the context of its past or potential contributions to our knowledge of the planet. Recent results are incorporated into a table of atmospheric composition and abundance which includes positively identified constituents as well as several which require verification. The limited available information about spatial variations of the infrared spectrum is presented
