Scientific paper

The present modeling of the Jovian 1900-2050/cm spectral region, which encompasses NH3, H2O, and PH3 effects, as well as a H2-He continuum, employs improved laboratory data on NH3 obtained at low temperature in the 5-micron region and includes a cloud layer at 200 K. A comparison of these synthetic spectra with IRIS data for various Jovian disk locations indicates a correlation between H2O and NH3 abundances, and a decreasing transmission for the cloud located at about 2 bar with increasing NH3 and H2O abundances. Both results are independent of longitudinal location, and support an atmospheric model in which hot spots are subsidence regions.
