Scientific paper

A thermal asymmetry displayed in Pioneer 10 45-micron IR radiometric data between the rising and setting limbs of the Jovian South Equatorial Belt (SEB) between -5.0 and -7.0 deg latitude is examined. A high correlation is found between the longitudinal asymmetry of the SEB at 45 microns and the appearance of Jupiter in 5-micron radiation. It is shown that there was a cooler 'obscuring' cloud within the SEB latitude region which correlates highly with the location of relatively reduced intensities at 45 microns. The cloud-top temperature is estimated on the basis of simultaneous 5- and 45-micron observations
