A new spectrum of Jupiter at 1.6 per cm resolution in the NH3-nu 2 band spectral range is reported and compared with different synthetic spectra. It is shown that such a comparison cannot lead to a unique temperature profile. It is concluded that the saturation of NH3 is a reasonable assumption. If the adiabatic lapse rate is assumed in the lower atmosphere, atmospheric profiles, showing a strong temperature inversion located at 0.1 atm or deeper, give the best agreement with observations. Some additional absorption features could be due to PH3.
