Scientific paper

Recent laboratory measurements have yielded directly most of the parameters of a band model which describes the mean transmission of NH3 diluted in H2. Greenhouse models employing H2, He, and saturated NH3 explain both Jupiter's net thermal flux and the 8- to 14-micron limb darkening without invoking a temperature inversion in the layers responsible for this band emission. The results are not yet precise enough to yield accurate He/H2 ratios from observation of the brightness temperature at the center of the disk.
