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…
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…
Amateur Observers Witness the Return of Venus' Cloud Discontinuity
Kardasis E., Peralta J., Maravelias G. +13
Firstly identified in images from JAXA's orbiter Akatsuki, the cloud discontinuity of Venus is a planetary-scale phenomenon known to be recurrent since, at least, the 1980s. Interp…
Characterising atmospheric gravity waves on the nightside lower clouds of Venus: a systematic analysis
J. E. Silva, P. Machado, J. Peralta +3
We present the detection and characterisation of mesoscale waves on the lower clouds of Venus using images from the Visible Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer onboard the Europe…
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…
