Scientific paper

Images of Jupiter have been obtained at three wavelengths intervals in the infrared: 0.7-2.5, 1.2-1.3, and 1.5-1.7 micron. The images show evidence for two distinct zones of high-altitude clouds; one at 10 deg N, the other at 22 deg S. The cloud zones also appear to be at different heights in the atmosphere and to have particles with different scattering properties.
