Scientific paper

Reanalysis of Voyager Uranus radio occultation results yields new profiles for CH 4 . Model CCD spectra are computed for each profile using compact cloud layers. The fit to observed spectra is best with profiles having about four pressure percent deep methane. The best model upper compact cloud matches the CH 4 occultation cloud. From 45 to 60°S methane is increasingly depleted to a depth of several bars.
