Gautier, D., and K. Grossman, 1972: A new method for the determination of the mixing ratio hydrogen to helium in the giant planets. J. Atmos. Sci., 29, no. 4, 788-792, doi:10.1175/1520-0469(1972)029<0788:R>2.0.CO;2.
By using a numerical iterative method, it is demonstrated that the mixing ratio H2/He on the giant planets can be inferred from spectral measurements of the intensity emitted by these planets in the far infrared range. The method is successfully applied to synthetic spectra of Saturn computed from atmospheric thermal models. The effect of random and systematic measurement errors on the determination of the mixing ratio is also studied.
