Imaging high resolution infrared spectroscopy is a new approach to planetary atmosphere research. Jovian infrared hydrocarbon lines, formed above the tropospheric cloud layers, are ideal for upper atmospheric studies. High spectral resolution yields altitude information, as the cores of strong lines probe the high stratospheric layers. Simultaneous spatial and spectral observations, possible with 2-D detector arrays, provide global vertical and horizontal information. Previous studies have used single detector Fourier spectrometers with limited sensitivity. A new IR echelle spectrometer with a 2-D detector array developed for imaging high resolution spectroscopy with high sensitivity is discussed.
