Scientific paper

It is shown that measurements of the center of the planetary disk agree with computations at n(r) = 1.37-1.38, r(0) = 0.26 + or - 0.04 micron, and sigma squared = 0.24 + or - 0.06. It is hypothesized that the wavelength dependence of the position of the polarization plane of the entire disk of Jupiter is due to the influence of the vertical inhomogeneity of the cloud layer. The appearance of a thin layer of randomly oriented crystals at the morning near-polar limb of the disk is found to be possible.
