We present an analysis of broad continuum features seen in the 3 micron high-resolution spectrum of Jupiter. The observations were carried out for a total of 20 hours between April 18 to August 22, 2006 (UT) at the UKIRT (United Kingdom Infrared Telescope) using CGS4 and its echelle, at a spectral resolving power of 37,000. The CGS4 slit size was 0.41" x 90" oriented along the central meridian of Jupiter. The observations cover 2.86 - 2.90, 2.97 - 3.10, 3.24 - 3.30, 3.32 - 3.38, 3.40 - 3.42, and 3.50 - 3.54 microns, with each echelle setting covering a 0.02 micron interval. We have constructed 3 micron model spectra that include absorption by NH3, C2H2, C2H6, HCN, and PH3 in order to investigate cloud levels and possible influence of haze on different latitudinal regions of Jupiter.
