The distribution of methylamine in the Jovian atmosphere

The distribution of methylamine in the Jovian atmosphere

An estimate of the methylamine concentration on Jupiter has been made. The maximum production rate of 6 × 104cm−3 (Jovian day)−1 occurs in the vicinity of 60 km above the ammonia cloud layer. If the downward transport of methylamine equals the production rate, then the volumetric mixing ratio is 3 ×...

Zusammenfassung:An estimate of the methylamine concentration on Jupiter has been made. The maximum production rate of 6 × 104cm−3 (Jovian day)−1 occurs in the vicinity of 60 km above the ammonia cloud layer. If the downward transport of methylamine equals the production rate, then the volumetric mixing ratio is 3 × 10−11.
