Study on the Venusian Atmospheric Thermal Structure: A Comparative Analysis between VEX/Akatsuki and Venus-GRAM/VCD

Soumyaneal Banerjee, R. K. Choudhary, Keshav R. Tripathi +5

We investigate the thermal structure of the Venusian middle atmosphere between 45 and 80 km using radio occultation (RO) measurements from Venus Express and Akatsuki spanning 2006-…

Context images for Venus Express radio occultation measurements: A search for a correlation between temperature structure and UV contrasts in the clouds of Venus

Maarten Roos-Serote, Colin Wilson, Ryan MacDonald +3

Venus exhibits strong and changing contrasts at ultraviolet wavelengths apparently related to the clouds and the dynamics in the cloud layer, but to date their origin continues to…

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…

A Long-lived Sharp Disruption on the Lower Clouds of Venus

J. Peralta, T. Navarro, C. W. Vun +19

Planetary-scale waves are thought to play a role in powering the yet-unexplained atmospheric superrotation of Venus. Puzzlingly, while Kelvin, Rossby and stationary waves manifest…

Stationary waves and slowly moving features in the night upper clouds of Venus

J. Peralta, R. Hueso, A. Sánchez-Lavega +9

At the cloud top level of Venus (65-70 km altitude) the atmosphere rotates 60 times faster than the underlying surface, a phenomenon known as superrotation. Whereas on Venus's days…
