Interpretation of shadows and antishadows on Saturn and the evidence against south polar eyewalls

Lawrence A. Sromovsky, Patrick M. Fry, Kevin H. Baines

Cassini spacecraft observations of Saturn in 2006 revealed south polar cloud shadows, the common interpretation of which was initiated by Dyudina et al. (2008, Science 319, 1801) w…

Saturn's south polar cloud composition and structure inferred from 2006 Cassini/VIMS spectra and ISS images

Lawrence A. Sromovsky, Kevin H. Baines, Patrick M. Fry

We used 0.85 - 5.1 micron 2006 observations by Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) to constrain the unusual vertical structure and compositions of cloud layer…

Long-term variations of Venus' 365-nm albedo observed by Venus Express, Akatsuki, MESSENGER, and Hubble Space Telescope

Yeon Joo Lee, Kandis-Lea Jessup, Santiago Perez-Hoyos +16

An unknown absorber near the cloud top level of Venus generates a broad absorption feature from the ultraviolet (UV) to visible, peaking around 360 nm, and therefore plays a critic…

Nightside Winds at the Lower Clouds of Venus with Akatsuki/IR2: Longitudinal, local time and decadal variations from comparison with previous measurements

Javier Peralta, Keishiro Muto, Ricardo Hueso +16

We present measurements of the wind speeds at the nightside lower clouds of Venus from observations by JAXA's mission Akatsuki during 2016, complemented with new wind measurements…

Adiabatic Lapse Rate and Static Stability in the Venus Atmosphere calculated from Real Gas Mixture Models

Arkopal Dutt, Sanjay S. Limaye

It is known that the ideal gas equation of state is not valid in the lower atmosphere of Venus where surface pressures reach 9 MPa and surface temperatures approach 750K. Moreover,…
