Scientific paper
New center-to-limb (CTL) equatorial region profiles of Neptune have been extracted from spatially well-resolved images. The 8900-A CTL profile entails the presence of material above the 5-mbar level whose optical depth is less than 0.5. CH4-band data admit of thin scattering hazes in the 0.4-1.5 bar pressure level, although optical depths must be lower than 0.05; so thin a haze falls short of the reflected flux at 6340 A, thereby implying the presence of another scattering layer deeper than 1.5 bars. A good fit to the observed reflectivity is obtained by a bright cloud layer with an optical depth of 3.0.
