Realistic inhomogeneous models of Jupiter's lower atmosphere are used to interpret recent observations of the (3–0) and (4–0) H2 quadrupole lines at different portions of the visible disc of the planet. The time variations of these observations are analysed in terms of changes in the cloud structure.
