Scattering properties and location of the jovian 5-micron absorber from Galileo/NIMS limb-darkening observations
The upper jovian atmosphere is particularly transparent at wavelengths near 5 μ m. Levels well below the cloud layers, which are situated between 0.5 and 2 bar, can be sounded. Large spatial variations of the brightness are observed, which are directly related to the opacity of the overlying cloud l...
