Longitudinal variations in the equatorial regions of Saturn are sought in both Voyager orange and methane-filter and ground-based 6000-6600 A observations. The spectral variations found are inconsistent with reflecting layer height variation; they are alternatively modeled by changes in the single-scattering albedo of the haze, as well as in the specific abundance of haze gas. The 500-km spatial resolution data furnished by Voyager are found to be consistent with a specific abundance of haze gas between 10 and 24 km-am. Ammonia and methane mixing ratios are derived.
