Assessing the long-term variability of acetylene and ethane in the stratosphere of Jupiter

Henrik Melin, L. N. Fletcher, P. T. Donnelly +6

Acetylene (CH) and ethane (CH) are both produced in the stratosphere of Jupiter via photolysis of methane (CH). Despite this common source, the latitudinal dist…
