Scientific paper

High stratospheric haze layer characteristics are presently explored in view of Voyager 2 wide-angle camera images of the Jupiter northern hemisphere dawn and dusk limbs. It is noted that such phenomena as particle size, refractive index, haze top altitude, and density have major effects on the intensity of scattered light; a unique solution specifying each of these is not possible. Important limits on the altitude of the haze top and haze extinction coefficients in the high stratosphere are nevertheless derived. The images show considerable, unanticipated differences between the dawn and dusk limbs at high latitude, suggesting a dynamically active upper atmosphere.
