Scientific paper

The near infrared spectra of Jupiter from 0.7 to 5.2 microns recorded by the Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer aboard the Galileo spacecraft in June 1996 provide new information on the vertical structure and composition of the Jovian atmosphere. This poster presents a preliminary analysis of that data using line by line, band and correlated-k forward radiative transfer models, and a retrieval method which analyses both the reflected sunlight and deep thermal emission regimes simultaneously. Initial estimates, using this approach, of the composition of the Jovian troposphere in both a 5 micron ``hot spot'' region and the Great Red Spot will be presented.
