Scientific paper

The moist convection parameters suggested by Stoker (1986) and Lunine and Hunten (1987) are used to compute CO, C2H2, and HCN abundances produced by lightning in Jovian cumulus clouds. It is found that, while CO and HCN abundances consistent with observation are obtainable in light of reasonable assumptions concerning the 'overshoot' of the rapidly-rising moist cells and subsequent mixing, an additional photolytic source is required to account for the abundance of C2H2.
