Scientific paper
The spectroscopic properties of the atmosphere of Jupiter are reviewed and the uses of spectroscopy for remote sensing of the Jovian composition, thermal structure, and cloud properties are discussed. The limitations of earth-based and existing spacecraft spectroscopy and the prospects for the near-infrared mapping spectrometer on the forthcoming Galileo orbiter are considered. It is shown that, provided problems with the availability of spectral-line data for methane, ammonia, and phosphine in the 1-5 micron region can be overcome, significant new information on the cloud layering, composition, and scattering properties, on the planet-wide distribution of condensible species, and on the deep-atmosphere thermal structure, should be retrievable.
