Scientific paper

From microwave observations of the HCN J = 3 → 2 line at 265.886 GHz on Jupiter and of the CO J = 2 → 1 line at 230.538 GHz on Saturn, upper limits of the HCN mixing ratio in Jupiter's stratosphere (4×10-9) and of the CO mixing ratio in Saturn's stratosphere (6×10-7) are derived. Moreover, it is shown that microwave observations support the evidence of a strong PH3 depletion below Jupiter's tropopause.
