Scientific paper

We report the first detection of the CO J=3-2 absorption feature in Neptune. The broad tropospheric absorption line was measured in May 1993 using a polarized Fourier transform spectrometer on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. The measured width and depth are in general agreement with the model of Marten et al. (1993), supporting their suggestion that carbon monoxide is transported upward into the stratosphere from the deep Neptunian atmosphere.
