Spectroscopic observations in the spectral region 6000-6600 A of major belts and zones of Jupiter have been carried out during the 1987 opposition. The longitudinal and latitudinal distribution of the equivalent widths of the methane and ammonia absorption bands at 6190 A and 6450 A have been investigated. These results are interpreted in terms of inhomogeneous scattering models by the simultaneous variation of the NH3 cloud optical thickness and its altitude level. The north-south scans show little latitudinal dependence on absorption in both methane and ammonia bands, although some relationship could be established between the absorption and relative continuum reflectivity variation.
