Scientific paper

Spatial scans at eight wavelengths between 7.8 and 24 microns along Jupiter's meridian and along the Equatorial Zone, the North Equatorial Belt, and the South Tropical Zone are considered. Some features of these scans are differences in brightness temperatures between the Great Red Spot and the surrounding South Tropical Zone, a higher temperature at high northern latitudes than high southern latitudes, equal or possibly higher temperatures of zones than belts at 7.8 microns in contrast to higher temperatures of belts at other observed wavelengths, very strong limb darkening at 8.9 microns possibly due to a large scale height or a nonuniform distribution of solid NH3 particles, and inhomogeneities within belts and zones.
