A reanalysis of the Voyager 2 radio occultation data has recently revealed a low-altitude layer in the jovian ionosphere (Hinson et al. 1998, J. Geophys. Res. 103, 9505-9520). The peak electron density of the layer measured on egress, which was at 93 • solar zenith angle near the morning terminator,
We have modeled the chemistry of hydrocarbon ions in the jovian ionosphere. We find that a layer of hydrocarbon ions is formed in the altitude range \(300-400 \mathrm{~km}\) above the ammonia cloud tops, due largely to direct ionization of hydrocarbons by photons in the wings of the \(\mathrm{H}_{2}
