Title: The H2 4−0 S(0, 1,and 2) quadrupole features in Jupiter
Abstract: We have detected the H2S4(2) feature in Jupiter. Using new low-temperature laboratory measurements for NH3, we have conducted a detailed analysis to determine an improved equivalent width for the Jovian H2S4(0) line. We have found good agreement of the equivalent widths computed from published models with the observed H2 4−0 line equivalent widths for Jupiter. The effective line formation temperature of ∼150°K at the averaged disk center of Jupiter found from the nominal S4(2)/S4(0) ratio is consistent with an H2 ortho-para ration for equilibrium tropospheric H2 in Jupiter.
