This note discusses the validity of certain band models and scaling approximations for computing transmissions in the v4 band of methane along inhomogeneous paths in the atmosphere of Jupiter. It is shown that Goody's random band model approximates the results of a rigorous numerical line-by-line calculation of the transmission profile of a Jovian model atmosphere.

Computer program performs the many calculations necessary for solving radiating, nonadiabatic flow of air in chemical equilibrium. Solution method provides accurate description of blunt body flow field in subsonic region.
The pressure-modulated carbon dioxide radiometer is a new kind of instrument capable of making temperature soundings in the 40-80-km region of the earth's atmosphere. It is intended to be mounted on a polar-orbiting satellite, where it will give global coverage of the upper atmosphere in a region that is not well understood at present but that is, as rocket soundings show, clearly the seat of many interesting and vigorous phenomena. The new technique employs a cell containing carbon dioxide as a filter. The pressure and hence transmission of this cell is periodically modulated, resulting in the selection of thermal radiation from the strong lines in the spectrum of atmospheric carbon dioxide. This radiation originates at levels in the atmosphere where the pressure is low. The energy grasp of the device is large enough to give high sensitivity.
A model of the structure and radiative properties of the Jovian clouds is described that is inhomogeneous both laterally and vertically. Radiative transfer calculations are presented which include cloud effects and show that the model can account for available observations at all wavelengths.
