Scientific paper
Information gained by ground-based and satellite-based research and Jupiter flybys of Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 is reviewed. The temperature profile of layers of the Jovian atmosphere and views on the mechanisms underlying the prodigious radiation of energy by the planet are covered. Temperature zones of the planet, the similar temperature patterns of the 'day' and 'night' sides of the rapidly rotating planet, effect of hydrogen pressure on the spectrum, and results from occultation experiments are discussed. Very long baseline interferometry, near IR spectroscopy, Fourier transform spectroscopy, and detection of helium in the planet's atmosphere (by Pioneer 10 instruments) are dealt with. The source of Jupiter's intrinsic energy, at least twice that the planet receives from the sun, and the bearing of the planet's physical structure on the history of the solar system, are acknowledged as the outstanding puzzles.
