An estimate of the methylamine concentration on Jupiter has been made. The maximum production rate of 6 × 10 4 cm −3 (Jovian day) −1 occurs in the vicinity of 60 km above the ammonia cloud layer. If the downward transport of methylamine equals the production rate, then the volumetric mixing ratio is 3 × 10 −11 .
