TLDR
In this article, the inversion of observed thermal infrared spectra of Jupiter to obtain temperature structures is reviewed and an ambiguity is noted when the 7.8 $mu$ band of CH$sub 4$ is used and alternative temperature structures are obtained.Abstract:
Defects in the inversion of observed thermal infrared spectra of Jupiter to obtain temperature structures are reviewed. An ambiguity is noted when the 7.8 $mu$ band of CH$sub 4$ is used and alternative temperature structures are obtained. (AIP)read more

Recovery of the mean Jovian temperature structure from inversion of spectrally resolved thermal radiance data
TL;DR: In this paper, the mean thermal structure of the Jovian upper atmosphere near the temperature minimum (0.1 bar) is recovered by inversion of thermal radiance data.

TL;DR: The infrared investigation on Voyager as discussed by the authors used two interferometers covering the spectral ranges 60-600 cm−1 (17-170 μm) and 1000-7000 cm −1 (1.4-10 μm), and a radiometer covering the range 8000−25 000 cm− 1 (0.4−1.2 μm).

TL;DR: In this article, a line-by-line compilation of the line parameters for the ν 4 bands of 12 CH 4 and 13 CH 4 occurring at 7.7 μm is presented.

A method for the determination of abundance ratios in the outer planets—Application to Jupiter
M. Combes,T. Encrenaz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new method is defined for the determination of abundance ratios in the atmospheres of the outer planets, using visible and near-infrared spectroscopic data, and it is shown that the large dispersion of the RLM for CH4 and NH3 is actually distributed as a function of the strength of the lines.
A New Method for the Determination of Abundance Ratios in the Outer Planets -- Application to Jupiter
M. Combes,T. Encrenaz +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method is defined for the determination of abundance ratios in the outer planets, using visible and near-infrared spectroscopic data, which is independent from the scattering processes involved in the line formation.
