Scientific paper

The paper summarizes the information obtained in recent maps of Jupiter at 5 microns, a frequency at which the gases in Jupiter have a relatively low opacity. It is highly possible that 5-micron hot spots are breaks in the cloud deck permitting observation of the hot lower layers of the atmosphere. Many 5-micron sources coincide with blue visual features, but the details of the correspondence need further investigation. Large-scale changes in the appearance of the planet occur at 5 microns on time scales of months; these changes are sufficiently dramatic to produce detectable variations in the whole-disk flux from the planet. Their correspondence to large-scale changes in visual features is not yet determined.
