Scientific paper

The images with geometric control which present Pioneer 10 and 11 Infrared Radiometer data aquired at Jupiter are compared with 5.0-micron and visible images taken in the same time frame. It is found that (1) at 5.0, 20 and 45 microns, the association of dark and light areas with warm and cool areas, respectively, extends to nearly all features observed on the planet; (2) where the normal association of light and dark visible markings with the zone velocity breaks down, the infrared emission seems to follow the visible cloud structure rather than the zonal velocity structure; and (3) exceptions to the general rule involve 20-micron radiation, which reflects conditions in the 0.1-0.3 bar altitude range. A comparison of Pioneer 10 and 11 images suggests that the South Equatorial Belt became brighter at 20 microns, yet remained constant at other wavelengths between the two encounters.
