Abstract: | The use of long-wavelength radio measurements of brightness temperature to remotely measure the thermal structure of the atmospheres of the major planets at great depths (>10 atm.) is discussed. Data are presented which show that the gross features of Jupiter's and Saturn's microwave spectra, as determined from ground based observations, can be explained in terms of thermal emission from ammonia in deep convective atmospheres of He and H2.This is one of the publications by the Science Advisory Group. |
