High-resolution (0.03 A) observations of the H2-6367.7 A quadrupole line and rotationally resolved features of the NH3-6450 A and CH4-6815 A bands at the center of the Jovian disk are presented. The measurements were obtained using the coude spectrograph of the 2.2 m telescope at Calar Alto Observatory on September 29, 1985. The results are compared with the few that exist in the literature and, in general, they are in agreement with the previous results. An interpretation of the results in terms of an inhomogeneous atmospheric radiative transfer model has been made. This model has also been applied to low-resolution measurements of the CH4-6190 A band and NH3-6450 A band, obtained also in September, 1985. A range of cloud parameters are shown to be compatible with the observations. The effects of the variations of the model parameters on the continuum reflectivity are also discussed.
