Scientific paper

The paper presents the results of NIR CVF spectrophotometry (covering the 1.4-2.4 and 2.9-4.1 micron spectral regions) of selected areas of Jupiter obtained during the February 1991 apparition. The data are absolutely calibrated and cover the equatorial region, the north and south midlatitudes, the equatorial limbs, and the polar regions. The spectra are in good agreement with those obtained at the center and the east limb by Clark and McCord (1979), except at the bottom of the strong 2.3-micron methane band. The flux from Jupiter in the 3.3-micron region is found to be about 10 exp -18 W/sq cm per micron.
