Several bands of the 2168 A electronic transition of ammonia were identified in the Jovian stratosphere by IUE. Vertical distributions of ammonia were generated for two temperature profiles and a range of eddy coefficients, using one dimensional, steady state, photochemical models. Good agreement with the observed reflectivities is found for an eddy coefficient of 1 to 3 times 10 to the 13th power/(n sq root n) sqcm per sec, where the total number density n is measured as molecules per cm. This value, as well as that derived from Voyager methane data, implies a remarkable similarity for the magnitude of eddy transport in the Jovian upper atmosphere with that in the atmospheres of the terrestrial planets.
