High resolution laboratory $measurements1$ of line positions and relative intensities of fine structure components in the methane band at 9050 $cm-1$, as well as new theoretical results, have been used to deduce properties of the Jovian atmosphere. Saturation was found to be important for a large range of Lorentz half-widths $\gamma$. Results are presented for $0.03\le \gamma \le 0.30cm-1$ and for no saturation.
