Jupiter Atmosphere: Methane

Scientific paper

The author analyses 120 spectra of morphological details on Jupiter's disk. He has found depressions in the spectra of Jupiter's zones and bands, which coincide with positions of vibration-rotation lines of laboratory absorption bands of ammonia NH3 near λ625 nm and methane CH4 near λ619 nm. The author has determined the moment (1987 Sep 3) of the beginning of a sudden increase in methane absorption in the Northern Equatorial Band (NEB) as compared with absorption in other morphological belts. Within the framework of the simplest model of the vertical structure of a planetary atmosphere, the author has found the single scattering albedo for the centre of a methane absorption band in NEB and SEB at the moment of opposition when maximum change of methane absorption in NEB took place in 1987. Such variations of methane absorption in NEB can be explained by a significant (about five times) growth of an absorption part of the atmosphere optical thickness.
