Scientific paper

From recent spectra of Jupiter, Saturn and Titan in the 6450-A band of NH3, new values of the abundance of ammonia are derived for Jupiter and Saturn. NH3 abundances of 13 plus or minus 3 m-Am on Jupiter and 2 plus or minus 1 m-Am on Saturn were found. High resolution profiles of NH3 lines on Jupiter are used to estimate a pressure of 2.1 atm at the line formation level in the Jovian atmosphere. In the case of Titan, an NH3 abundance of less than 2 m-Am was found. The implications of these results are discussed.
