The identity of the coloring agent(s) in Jupiter's atmosphere and the exact
structure of Jupiter's uppermost cloud deck are yet to be conclusively
understood. The Cr\`{e}me Br\^ul\'ee model of Jupiter's tropospheric clouds,
originally proposed by Baines et al. (2014) and expanded upon by Sromovsky et
al. (2017) and Baines et al. (2019), presumes that the chromophore measured by
Carlson et al. (2016) is the singular coloring agent in Jupiter's troposphere.
In this work, we test the validity of the Cr\`{e}me Br\^ul\'ee model of
Jupiter's uppermost cloud deck using spectra measured during the Juno
spacecraft's 5th perijove pass in March 2017. These data were
obtained as part of an international ground-based observing campaign in support
of the Juno mission using the NMSU Acousto-optic Imaging Camera (NAIC) at the
3.5-m telescope at Apache Point Observatory in Sunspot, NM. We find that the
Cr\`{e}me Br\^ul\'ee model cloud layering scheme can reproduce Jupiter's
visible spectrum both with the Carlson et al. (2016) chromophore and with
modifications to its imaginary index of refraction spectrum. While the
Cr\`{e}me Br\^ul\'ee model provides reasonable results for regions of Jupiter's
cloud bands such as the North Equatorial Belt and Equatorial Zone, we find that
it is not a safe assumption for unique weather events, such as the 2016-2017
Southern Equatorial Belt outbreak that was captured by our measurements.Comment: 38 pages, 21 figures; Accepted for publication in AAS Planetary
