The abundance of carbon monoxide in JupiterSpectra of Jupiter in the 5-micron window region have been acquired. From these it is deduced that (1) the presence of CO in Jupiter is verified; (2) the column abundance is approximately 0.016 cm amagat (identical to 4.3 by 10 to the 17th power mol/sq cm); and (3) the CO is probably nonuniformly mixed in the atmosphere, being concentrated into the stratosphere.
