Observations in Saturn have prompted the development of an 0.4 + or - 0.2 ppb mole fraction for germane (GeH4) on the basis of the P- and R-branch lines' spectra. The presence of germane in Saturn implies a disequilibrium of the upper atmosphere by rapid vertical convection. It is suggested that future, more realistic radiative transfer models that include the effects of scattering within a cloud layer will probably only reduce the mole fraction presently derived for germane, by increasing the effective path length in a given atmospheric layer.
