Scientific paper
Results are presented of high-resolution interferometry of Uranus at 6 cm wavelength and single-dish observations of the disk-averaged brightness temperature at 2.8 and 4.8 wavelength. The 1978 brightness temperature measurements support the finding of Klein and Turegano (1978) that the brightness temperature of Uranus has been rising; there is no evidence for radio emission from the outside the visible disk at 6 cm. The interferometry shows a possible 55 plus or minus K difference in brightness temperature between the equator and the currently exposed pole. The changing insolation probably triggers a redistribution of the trace constituent NH3 which is reponsible for radio opacity.
