Latitudinal Variation of Clouds' Structure Responsible for Venus' Cold Collar
I. Garate-Lopez, Sébastien Lebonnois
Global Climate Models (GCM) are very useful tools to study theoretically the general dynamics and specific phenomena in planetary atmospheres. In the case of Venus, several GCMs su…
A model of scattered thermal radiation for Venus from 3 to 5 m
A. García Muñoz, P. Wolkenberg, A. Sánchez-Lavega +2
Thermal radiation becomes a prominent feature in the continuum spectrum of Venus longwards of 3 m. The emission is traceable to the upper cloud and haze layers in the plan…
Potential Vorticity of the South Polar Vortex of Venus
I. Garate-Lopez, R. Hueso, A. Sánchez-Lavega +1
Venus' atmosphere shows highly variable warm vortices over both of the planet's poles. The nature of the mechanism behind their formation and properties is still unknown. Potential…
Validation of the IPSL Venus GCM Thermal Structure with Venus Express Data
Pietro Scarica, Itziar Garate-Lopez, Sebastien Lebonnois +4
General circulation models (GCMs) are valuable instruments to understand the most peculiar features in the atmospheres of planets and the mechanisms behind their dynamics. Venus ma…
Instantaneous Three-dimensional Thermal Structure of the South Polar Vortex of Venus
I. Garate-Lopez, A. García Muñoz, R. Hueso +1
The Venus thermal radiation spectrum exhibits the signature of absorption bands. By means of inversion techniques, those bands enable the retrieval of atmospheric temperatur…
An Enduring Rapidly Moving Storm as a Guide to Saturn's Equatorial Jet's Complex Structure
A. Sánchez-Lavega, E. García-Melendo, S. Perez-Hoyos +14
Saturn has an intense and broad eastward equatorial jet with a complex three-dimensional structure mixed with time variability. The equatorial region experiences strong seasonal in…
Six years of Venus winds at the upper cloud level from UV, visible and near infrared observations from VIRTIS on Venus Express
Ricardo Hueso, Javier Peralta, Itziar Garate-Lopez +2
Venus Express provided a long-term monitoring of Venus atmosphere. Several works focused on the dynamics of the upper cloud visible on the day-side in ultraviolet images sensitive…
A chaotic long-lived vortex at Venus southern pole
I. Garate-Lopez, R. Hueso, A. Sánchez-Lavega +3
Polar vortices are common in the atmospheres of rapidly rotating planets [1-4]. On Earth and Mars they are tied to the surface and their existence follows the seasonal insolation c…
