Scientific paper

An analysis of available observations of the April 7, 1968, occultation of BD-17 deg 4388 by Neptune yields upper atmosphere temperatures of about 140 K near the 5 x 10 to the 14th power per cu cm level. The temperature structure of the atmosphere at these levels is complicated and nonisothermal. Diurnal temperature variations are certainly less than 15 K between 0 and 55 deg latitude.
