The 2 $\mu$ band of ammonia has been recorded with a resolution of $0.06 cm-1$. Most of the strong lines belonging to the perpendicular band $\nu 3+\nu 4$ have been identified. The analysis suggests strong Local Interactions with neighboring bands. The results have been utilized to interpret a $0.5 cm-1$ resolution spectrum of $Jupiter.1$ An effective rotational temperature has been derived for the Jovian atmosphere.
