Abstract
In the previous chapter we saw how the ultraviolet (UV), visible, infrared (IR), and microwave spectra of the giant planets are formed, and how the absorption features of different gases (and theoretically aerosols) are visible in these spectra. Clearly much can be learned about the atmospheres from observing the spectra of these planets, and in this chapter we will review the measurements that have been made to date and how they may be used.
