Abstract: The Backus-Gilbert theory, originally developed for analysis of inversion problems associated with the physics of the solid earth, is applied to the problem of the vertical sounding of the atmosphere by means of remote ...

Abstract: Using temperature fields derived from the Mariner 9 infrared spectroscopy experiment, the Martian atmospheric tidal pressure and wind fields are calculated. Temperature as a function of local time, latitude, and atmospheric ...

Abstract: The compositions of the atmospheres of the outer planets are dominated by molecular hydrogen. The hydrogen ortho and para forms (proton spins parallel and antiparallel) are observed to have ratios that are not in thermodynamic ...
