Abstract: 

We propose a modification of the method used before for the revision of monochromatic absorption coefficients in thermal conditions of Jupiter's atmosphere. Methane absorption bands over a wavelength interval from 441 to 940 nm were taken into account. We developed a method of allowing for high-altitude atmospheric temperature profile in the change of kv for methane absorption bands formed at different penetration depths in the atmosphere.
