Ultraviolet spectra of the northern and southern hemispheres of Jupiter taken with the Hubble Space Telescope Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) in May 1992 and June 1993 have been used to derive the altitude profiles of NH 3 in the vicinity of the tropopause. For a given pressure level, it is shown th
