Homogeneous Nucleation of Water Vapor Evidenced by Elongated Clouds on Mars
J. Hernandez-Bernal, A. Maattanen, A. Spiga +1
It is widely accepted that water vapor forms clouds by heterogeneous nucleation (condensation on pre-existing dry nuclei). Homogeneous nucleation (directly from water vapor, withou…
Quasi-diurnal Kelvin Wave Observed in the Atmosphere of Mars by the Pressure Sensor on the InSight Lander
Anzu Asumi, Jorge Hernández-Bernal, Kaoru Sato +1
During the initiation phase of Martian dust storms, a spectral signature of a zonal wavenumber 1 normal mode Kelvin wave (K1) has been observed in several surface pressure records.…
Clouds as the driver of variability and colour changes in brown dwarf atmospheres
Lucas Teinturier, Benjamin Charnay, Aymeric Spiga +1
Brown dwarfs are massive, giant exoplanet analogues subject to variability and colour changes, known as the L/T transition, fundamental for their thermal evolution. The drivers of…
The effect of near-surface winds on surface temperature and dust transport on Venus
Maxence Lefèvre, Sébastien Lebonnois, Aymeric Spiga +1
The knowledge of the Venus near-surface atmosphere is sparse. Few spacecrafts landed on the surface and measured winds with amplitudes below 1 m/s. The diurnal cycle of the wind am…
Towards sustainable space research in France
Alexandre Santerne, Héloïse Meheut, Didier Barret +8
During the 2024's quinquennial scientific roadmap of CNES, a specific group worked on setting recommendations to decrease the environmental footprint of space science activities. T…
Diurnal and Seasonal variations of Gravity Waves in the lower atmosphere of Mars as observed by Insight
J. Hernández-Bernal, A. Spiga, A. Chatain +2
We investigate Gravity Waves (GWs) in the lower atmosphere of Mars based on pressure timeseries acquired by the InSight lander. We compile a climatology showing that most GW activi…
