The Galileo NIMS instrument is measuring the Jovian atmosphere in the near infrared from 0.7 to 5.2 microns. A non-linear optimal estimation model has been developed which uses a correlated-k spectral model with a doubling and adding scattering algorithm to analyse data simultaneously from both the reflected sunlight and deep thermal emission regions of the spectrum. This allows rapid retrieval of atmospheric properties (composition and cloud structure) as well as characterisation of sensitivity to noise. Comparisons of the forward component of this model with line by line methods have been carried out to validate this approach. A detailed explication of the H2O retrievals will be presented to illustrate these issues and in support of conclusions presented by Irwin et al. and Smith et al.
