Scientific paper

Five-micron brightness temperatures and brightness temperature upper limits for Uranus and Neptune have been obtained which are substantially lower than those of Jupiter and Saturn and which correspond to a geometric albedo of approximately 0.01, in agreement with results reported by Gillett and Rieke (1977). Phosphine and CH3D, which are observed at 5 microns on Jupiter and Saturn, are discussed as possible sources of opacity at 5 microns in the atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune.
