Scientific paper

The paper reports results of spectropolarimetric observations of Jupiter's zones and belts (EZ, SEB, and NEB) in the methane absorption band at 727 nm and in different parts of the continuum in the 347-789-nm range. It is shown that the upper boundary of clouds in the belts is about 16 km lower than in the equatorial zone. The above-cloud layer is found to be purely gaseous with a methane volume concentration of 1.5 + or - 0.2 x 10 to the -3rd.
