Scientific paper

Gaseous ammonia (NH3) has long been recognized as a primary source of microwave opacity in the atmosphere of Jupiter. In order to more accurately infer the abundance and distribution of ammonia from radio emission measurements in the 1- to 20-cm wavelength range and radio occultation measurements at 3.6 and 13 cm, the authors have made measurements of the microwave opacity from gaseous ammonia under simulated conditions for the Jovian atmosphere. Measurements of ammonia absorptivity were made at five frequencies from 1.62 to 21.7 GHz (wavelengths from 18.5 to 1.38 cm), at temperatures from 178 to 300K, and at pressures from 1 to 6 atm, in a 90% hydrogen/10% helium atmosphere.
