An overview of data regarding the UV and IR emissions from the Jovian aurorae is given with references given to interpretations of the data. Attention is given to the findings of the UV spectrometer on the Voyagers 1 and 2, the International UV Explorer, and the Voyager IR Interferometer Spectrometer. Major emitting species include CH4, C2H2, and other constituents, and the observations of the auroral emissions are examined to determine the primary particles, energy, flux, and loss-cone mechanisms of the aurorae. Modeling of the effect of the magnetic-field asymmetry on the precipitation flux pattern of the particles facilitates the interpretation of the primary particles. The IR emissions are more difficult to interpret than the UV emissions which yield data dependent on the atmospheric composition above the excitation level. It is suggested that continued study focus on the north and south hemispheres simultaneously and correlate the UV and IR data as much as possible.
