Scientific paper

A model for the vertical cloud structure of Jupiter's Equatorial Plumes is deduced based on an analysis of Voyager images of the equatorial region in the 6190-Å methane band and the 6000-Å continuum, and ground-based 8900-Å methane band images of Jupiter. A computer code that represents scattering and absorption from aerosol and gas layers was applied to a hierarchy of increasingly complex model aerosol structures to match the observations in the three wavelengths. The observations are consistent with a model for the vertical cloud structure of the equatorial region that consists of four aerosol layers.
