Description:
Measurements of ethane and ethylene emission lines on Jupiter were made using a dual CO2 laser heterodyne spectrometer. Retrieved abundances of these products of methane photolysis in the Jovian stratosphere were used to test existing photochemical models and to investigate a localized "hot spot" in the northern auroral region.
