  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We conduct a first investigation into the ion-molecule chemistry of the upper Jovian atmosphere. Experimental results show that intense ultraviolet radiation reacts with the constituents of the Jovian atmosphere to produce C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;, C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;6&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;, C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;8&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;, and higher polymers. The general procedure for calculating both equilibrium and nonequilibrium abundances of these products is formulated and applied to the case of the surface passage of a satellite shadow. A specific example is made of ethylene, for which an analytical approximation gives 10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;molecules in an atmospheric column of 1 cm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;cross section after a very rapid rise to equilibrium. Such a concentration of ethylene does not substantially affect the infrared radiation in the shadow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
