The Venus' Cloud Discontinuity in 2022

J. Peralta, A. Cidadão, L. Morrone +10

First identified in 2016 by JAXA's Akatsuki mission, the discontinuity/disruption is a recurrent wave observed to propagate during decades at the deeper clouds of Venus (47--56 km…

Reflectivity of Venus' dayside disk during the 2020 observation campaign: outcomes and future perspectives

Yeon Joo Lee, Antonio García Muñoz, Atsushi Yamazaki +28

We performed a unique Venus observation campaign to measure the disk brightness of Venus over a broad range of wavelengths in August and September 2020. The primary goal of the cam…

Planetary-scale variations in winds and UV brightness at the Venusian cloud top: Periodicity and temporal evolution

Masataka Imai, Toru Kouyama, Yukihiro Takahashi +9

Planetary-scale waves at the Venusian cloud-top cause periodic variations in both winds and ultraviolet (UV) brightness. While the wave candidates are the 4-day Kelvin wave and 5-d…

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…

Return to Venus of the Japanese Venus Climate Orbiter AKATSUKI

Masato Nakamura, Yasuhiro Kawakatsu, Chikako Hirose +19

Japanese Venus Climate Orbiter/AKATSUKI was proposed in 2001 with strong support by international Venus science community and approved as an ISAS (The Institute of Space and Astron…

Equatorial jet in the lower to middle cloud layer of Venus revealed by Akatsuki

T. Horinouchi, S. Murakami, T. Satoh +15

The Venusian atmosphere is in a state of superrotation where prevailing westward winds move much faster than the planet's rotation. Venus is covered with thick clouds that extend f…
