A filtering procedure to invert the radiative transfer equation which combines the advantages of the fast convergence of Chahine's method (1968, 1970) and the stability properties inherent in filtering is described. This procedure is used to invert available spectral infrared measurements of Jupiter. A set of Jovian thermal profiles is retrieved as a function of the temperature at the 0.1 millibar level where temperature values from beta Scorpio occultation measurements are available. The tropopause is distinctly sharper than the one existing in models computed with the assumption of convective radiative equilibrium. In order to fit the data of the 7.7 micron spectrum of Jupiter, the temperature at the 0.1 millibar level cannot exceed 200 K. The relative abundance of Jovian molecular hydrogen and the Jovian effective temperature corresponding to the inferred thermal profiles are given.
