The Jovian stratosphere in the ultraviolet

Encrenaz, T.; Owen, T.; Caldwell, J. +3 more

The center-of-disk reflectivity of Jupiter in the wavelength range from 1450 to 3150A˚has been computed from 30 low-dispersion IUE spectra taken during solar maximum in 1978-1980. A vertically inhomogeneous radiative transfer program is used to compute model reflectivities of various stratospheric compositions for comparison. Ammonia and acetylene…
