The techniques used to make laboratory measurements of the millimeter wave opacity from gaseous ammonia under simulated Jovian conditions are described. The results are applied to a radiative transfer model, which is used to compute Jupiter's millimeter wavelength emission. The absorptivity of gaseous NH3 is measured to reduce one of the largest uncertainties in modeling Jupiter's millimeter wave emission. Several other millimeter wave opacity sources are examined. New expressions are given for computing the absorptivity of NH3, H2O, cloud condensates, and pressure-induced absorption. Jupiter's reliable millimeter wavelength observations are compared with synthetic emission spectra which utilize these new absorption expressions.
