The present IUE observations of Neptune, together with improved observations of Uranus below 2000 A, indicate excellent agreement between the UV-derived C2H2 abundance and that obtained from independent IR data for Uranus, while for Neptune, the derived IUE C2H2 abundances differ from IR spectra by orders of magnitude. Attention is accordingly given to aspects of IR modeling requiring modification. The agreement for Uranus may be due to approximately global uniformity, while the disagreement for Neptune may have its basis in such spatial variations as a warm summer pole, as well as in inaccuracies in current model temperature profiles. |
