Spectral features are examined along the sequence of source classes from L1 to T8. We find that the CH4 3.3 um band is present in the spectra of brown dwarfs later than L5, and the CO 4.6 um band appears in all spectral types. The CO2 absorption band at 4.2 um is detected in late-L and T type dwarfs. To better understand brown dwarf atmospheres, we analyze the observed spectra using the Unified Cloudy Model (UCM).
