Scientific paper

The possibility of catalytic destruction of H by C2H2 in the Jovian upper atmosphere is investigated, and other photochemical hydrocarbon reactions are presented. It is shown that the catalytic action of C2H2 can destroy or preserve atomic hydrogen, depending on the branching ratio of an intermediate reaction and the temperature dependence of various reaction rates. A model Jovian atmosphere is constructed, and the altitude profiles of some species are plotted. It is noted that this model has a greater atomic hydrogen abundance and a lower concentration of C2H2 than previous ones, and that the H profile should be considered as an upper limit for the Jovian atmosphere.
