Scientific paper

No asymmetry between evening and morning sides is detectable in the present hydrogen quadrupole absorption lines from the equatorial zones of Jupiter and Saturn. By contrast to the 5-15 percent asymmetry reported by Cunningham et al. (1988) for Jupiter, the upper limits for an asymmetry of equivalent widths determined in the present case were of the order of only 2 percent for Jupiter and 3 percent for Saturn. The Doppler shifts for the spectra obtained indicate a Saturn equatorial jet wind-speed that is consistent with that determined in Voyager cloud feature-tracking studies.
