摘要：

We present new results obtained from the analysis of the seasonal variations in the asymmetry of polarization of light reflected by Jupiter. From the 23-year set of observations, the anticorrelation between the asymmetries of polarization and insolation has been revealed. The mechanism explaining the observed seasonal variations of polarization has been proposed. The core of this mechanism is the effect of temperature changes in the planetary stratosphere on the processes of the stratospheric aerosol haze formation. Additional irregular factors that may influence the observed polarization asymmetry are considered.
