Abstract
In a paper in this issue of the Journal, Wildey et al. [1965] have presented the results of recent efforts to contour the isophotes over the disk of Jupiter for the thermal emission in the heterochromatic-magnitude band extending from 8 to 14 microns. Such brightness temperature maps represent an important constraint on Jovian model atmospheres in which over-all processes of energy transport and balance are considered. Because of the limitations on the accuracy of the present mapping procedures, important discrimination must be made between structural features of maps which are obviously noise and those which are good candidates for the extraction of theoretical implications. The peculiar nature of the noise warrants an elaboration of this discriminatory procedure.
