Abstract: The cloud particles on Venus are sufficiently small for their vertical distribution to be strongly affected by atmospheric turbulence. Reasonably firm estimates of the vertical distribution of cloud particles can be made ...

Abstract: Photochemical models for the Venus clouds are presented and discussed. We illustrate models for sulfuric acid density as a function of altitude based on a proposed photochemical scheme. Emphasis is placed on two competing ...

Abstract: The ClOO radical has been suggested as an important intermediate in a Cl atom catalyzed combination of CO and O2 enabling conservation of the observed low mixing ratios for CO and O2/ in the predominantly C O2 Venusian ...

Abstract: General expressions for computing time constants for radiative decay of harmonic temperature perturbations in planetary atmospheres are developed. Previous studies have not taken into account the inhomogeneity of planetary ...

Abstract: The photodissociation of HCl in the atmosphere of Venus and its various implications are discussed in some detail. From a photochemical steady-state study a new and appealing viewpoint to answer problems associated with ...

Abstract: The scales of temporal and spatial variations in stratospheric minor species concentrations and dynamical quantities are briefly reviewed. Despite the fact that the stratosphere is often considered to he a very quiescent ...

Abstract: We have measured the absolute reflectivities of four areas on Jupiter between 3200 and 11,200 Å with spectral resolution of 5 Å (?<6000 Å) and 10 Å (?>6000 Å). The values of the isotropic single-scattering albedos derived ...
