Radiative Terms in the Thermal Conduction Equation for Planetary Atmospheres
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Terms in the thermal conduction equation arising from infrared emissions and absorptions by atomic oxygen and carbon monoxide are investigated. The purpose of the investigation is to develop general expressions for the net ...
Interpretation of Mariner 5 and Venera 4 Data on the Upper Atmosphere of Venus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Calculations have been completed on the structure of the ionosphere of Venus. Comparisons between these calculations and the results of the Mariner 5 and Venera 4 flights yield the following information on the structure ...
The Electron Distributions in the Mars and Venus Upper Atmospheres
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Theoretical models of the Mars and Venus ionospheres are constructed and compared with the observed electron distributions in the upper atmospheres of these planets. It is found that a serious discrepancy exists between ...
A Chemical Model of the Troposphere and Stratosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A time-dependent, one-dimensional model of the coupled chemistry and vertical mixing of the atmosphere is used to compute the distribution for many atmospheric constituents of the troposphere and stratosphere. The model ...
