The amount of sunlight deposited in the Jovian upper atmosphere is estimated from reflectivity measurements at 2400 ¿ by the Voyager 2 Photopolarimeter experiment and at visible and near-IR wavelengths observed by Pioneer 10 and ground-based instruments. Zero to about one percent of the incident energy is absorbed at altitudes above the 100 mbar level in models with mean values for haze optical depth and single scattering albedo. Several percent of the incident energy could be absorbed, if limiting values are used, and if an additional absorbing layer is incorporated below the high altitude haze in Pioneer models. Maximum absorption occurs at the edge of the polar regions near ¿65¿ latitude. Most of the absorbed energy is derived from visible and near-IR radiation rather than UV radiation.
