Scientific paper

The quadrupole hydrogen lines S(1) at 6376.76 A in the spectra of the Jupiter Red Spot, (RS), equatorial zone (EZ), and south equatorial belt (SEB) were investigated. The H2 pressure at the S(1) line formation level, the hydrogen content in the above-cloud atmosphere, the amount of absorbing gas along a mean free path between scattering events within the cloud layer, and the specific gas content per unit free path were determined in the framework of a two-layer model. It is shown that physical conditions in the RS, EZ, and SEB differ considerably at the depth of S(1) line formation.
