R. Abstract Emission lines of the nu2 fundamental vibration-rotation band of H3(+) have been detected in the northern and southern polar ionospheres of Jupiter. The recently discovered 2-micron overtone band of H3(+) is currently absent from the spectra of Jupiter's poles, as are lines of several other hot bands of H3(+) and 2-micron lines of H2, implying that physical conditions in Jupiter's auroral regions have changed considerably within a period of about 1 yr. The present observations provide added evidence for a large abundance H3(+) in localized zones of the Jovian atmosphere.
