Scientific paper

Spectroscopic data obtained by Voyager 1 and 2 Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer (IRIS) have been re-analyzed. Comparisons of the Voyager 1 and 2 spectra show evidence of temporal intensity variations over the 4 month period between the two Voyager Jupiter encounters. Using the spectral data, Jupiter images have been constructed at the emission bands of hydrocarbons, such as methane, ethylene, ethane, acetylene, methyl-acetylene, and benzene. The resultant images show significant intensity enhancements and/or variations in the polar regions of Jupiter. Implications on temperature structures, abundance distributions, and photochemistry will be discussed.
