Ground-based spectra of Jupiter and Saturn in the region from 17 to 25 microns are compared with intensities computed from current thermal-structure models. Good agreement with the continuum of Jupiter is obtained for models which incorporate a temperature inversion, but published models give disagreement with the continuum of Saturn. Upper-limit abundances for sulfur and phosphorus in the Jovian atmosphere, as thermodynamically stable species S8 and P4, are found to be 0.04 and 2.1 times the solar abundance, respectively.
