Scientific paper

Two interferometers covering the spectral ranges 17 to 170 microns and 1.4 to 10 microns and a radiometer covering the range 0.4 to 1.2 microns are employed in the Voyager infrared spectroscopy and radiometry investigation. The study will focus on cloud and gas composition of planets and satellites with substantial atmospheres (including isotopic ratios), haze scale height, atmospheric vertical thermal structure, local and planetary circulation, and planetary energy balance. Surface temperatures and thermal properties of satellites with tenuous atmospheres will also be assessed, and the particle size distribution and thermal characteristics of Saturn's rings will be analyzed.
