A spectrum of Jupiter from 700 to 1600 kaysers was obtained with an interferometric experiment using the 91.5-cm telescope of the NASA Airborne Infrared Observatory. The spectral resolution is 10 kaysers, and the signal-to-noise ratio is 30 at 900 kaysers. NH3 absorption lines are observed between 820 and 1020 kaysers. The 1306-kayser nu 4-CH4 band strongly appears in emission at a temperature of at least 145 K. The Jovian brightness temperature between 1400 and 1600 kaysers is lower than 170 K, according to the present measurements.
