Scientific paper

Ground-based spectrophotometric and spectropolarimetric observations of the center of the Jovian disk are presently interpreted, under the assumptions that the atmosphere's upper cloud layer is homogeneous and contains both gas and spherical particles, with a view to estimating the physical properties of the upper tropospheric aerosols in Jupiter's equatorial region. Gamma and modified-gamma particle-size distributions are used. The best agreement between the observational data and multiple scattering calculations fully accounting for polarization in both of these particle-size distributions was for an effective aerosol radius of 0.39 + or - 0.08 microns.
