A laboratory curve of growth analysis was made on the lines in two ammonia bands located at 6450 Å and 10800 Å and the abundance of ammonia in the atmosphere of Jupiter was determined. Lines in the 6450 Å band appear to fall on the weak line section of the curve of growth, while those in the 10800 Å band fall in the transition region. The abundance values obtained from these bands are 13.0±3 m atm and 15±8 m atm, respectively. Measurements of the intensity distribution in the 6450 Å band in the laboratory and in the Jovian spectra show that the intensity of several lines in this band is highly dependent on the temperature. Strengths for some of the lines in the 6450 Å band were determined and half-widths of some strong lines were also measured. The effective pressure found from these half-width values is 2.5 atmospheres.
