TL;DR: The Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) is a remote-sensing Fourier transform spectrometer on the Cassini orbiter that measures thermal radiation over two decades in wavenumber, with a spectral resolution that can be set from 0.5 to 15.5 cm− 1.

TL;DR: Maps of temperatures and winds with high spatial resolution, obtained from spacecraft measurements of infrared spectra of Jupiter's stratosphere, find an intense, high-altitude equatorial jet with a speed of ∼140 m s-1, whose spatial structure resembles that of a quasi-quadrennial oscillation.
The helium abundance of Jupiter from Voyager
TL;DR: The helium abundance in the Jovian atmosphere was derived from Voyager 1 data by two methods as discussed by the authors, one using only infrared spectra from selected locations on the planet while the second method using a thermal profile independently derived from radio occultation measurements and infrared spectrum recorded near the occultation point.
