Scientific paper

The availability of new accurate radio flux densities of Jupiter in and around the λ≃1.3 cm ammonia absorption band, one from ground-based radio data and five from the WMAP satellite, permits re-examination of the structure of the jovian upper troposphere. These flux densities, with accuracies of 1 3%, indicate that the jovian atmospheric ammonia is globally subsaturated within and above the ammonia cloud tops, 0.4 bar⩽P⩽0.6 bar, and subsolar (by a factor of 2) below the cloud base, 0.6 bar⩽P⩽2 bar.
