Scientific paper

Scalar and vector radiative transfer and microphysical models are presently constructed from photometrically and geometrically corrected Voyager images of Uranus defining spatially-resolved intensities over a range of phase angles for two latitude bands. The methane ice cloud occupying 1.2-1.3 bar is of 0.7 optical depth at 22.5 deg S, rising to 2.4 at 65 deg S; the volume absorption coefficient of the cloud particles is 50 percent greater at the low latitude than at the high, assuming constant mean cloud particle size. The scattering model also includes photochemically-produced stratospheric hydrocarbon ices in the upper troposphere and stratosphere, as well as an optically thick hydrogen sulfide cloud.
