Infrared drift scans of areas near the equator of Saturn are analyzed which were made through narrow-band filters with central wavelengths of 17.8, 19.7, and 22.7 microns. The results are compared with several different models of the atmosphere of Saturn based on the planet's thermal IR emission spectrum. It is found that the model of Tokunaga and Cess (1977) is the best of the published models as a representation of the equatorial atmosphere of Saturn and that a model developed by Gautier et al. (1977) is also quite acceptable in view of the experimental uncertainties.
