Observations of Jupiter by multicolor photoelectric photometry in 10 narrow bands between 3150 Å and 1.06 μ and in UBV showed a brightening for shorter wavelengths in 1965 relative to 1963. An opposite effect occurred for the band at 7300 Å. These results are consistent with observed activity in the Jovian atmosphere. No obvious correlation could be found between brightness fluctuations and longitude of the central meridian, indicating that the activity was uniform in longitude or occurred on time scales short compared to a month.

Jovian Atmosphere

The infrared opacity of Jupiter’s upper atmosphere will be influenced by line blanketing resulting from strong absorption bands of ammonia and organic molecules. In order to calculate these effects eventually, we conduct a first investigation into the ion-molecule chemistry of the upper Jovian atmosphere. Experimental results show that intense ultraviolet radiation reacts with the constituents of the Jovian atmosphere to produce C2H4> ^2^65 a, and higher polymers. The general procedure for calculating both equilibrium and non-equilibrium abundances of these products is formulated and applied to the case of the surface passage of a satellite shadow. A specific example is made of ethylene, for which an analytical approximation gives 10 (to power of 10) molecules in an atmospheric column of 1 cm2 cross-section after a very rapid rise to equilibrium. Such a concentration of ethylene does not substantially affect the infrared radiation in the shadow.
