We have measured the spectrum of Jupiter from 45 to 197\mum using the Long Wavelength Spectrometer on ISO, and in the atmospheric windows at 350\mum, 750\mum, 850\mum and 1.1mm using a Fourier transform spectrometer on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. Absorption signatures of tropospheric NH₃, PH₃, CH₄ and HD and emission features due to stratospheric H₂O have all been detected. Tropospheric H₂S is also a possible absorber at these wavelengths. Analysis of the spectra will be presented.
