Venus lower atmosphere heat balance
Pioneer Venus observations of temperatures and radiative fluxes are examined in an attempt to understand the thermal balance of the lower atmosphere. If all observations are correct and the probe sites are typical of the planet, the second law of thermodynamics requires that the bulk of the lower atmosphere heating must come from a source other than direct sunlight or a thermally driven atmosph...
متن کاملPhotochemistry of the Venus Atmosphere
Carbon monoxide, produced in the Venus atmosphere by photolysis of C02, is removed mainly by reaction with OH. The radical OH is formed in part by photolysis of H 20., in part by reaction of 0 with H02 • Photolysis of HCl provides a major source of H radicals near the visible clouds of Venus and plays a major role in the overall photochemistry. The mixing ratio of 0 2 is estimated to be approxi...
متن کاملOn the Radiative Equilibrium and Heat Balance of the Atmosphere
In order to incorporate the effect of radiation into the numerical experiment of the general circulation of the atmosphere, a simplified scheme for computing the radiative temperature change is constructed. The effects included are long wave radiation by water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone and the absorption of solar radiation by these three gases. The absorptivities of these gases are deter...
متن کاملX band model of Venus atmosphere permittivity
[1] A model of Venus’ atmosphere permittivity profile up to 300 km is developed in this paper for X band. The model includes both the real and imaginary parts of the atmospheric permittivity, derived using data sets inferred or directly measured from past exploration missions to Venus: the real part is obtained by calculating the total polarization of the mixture of the atmospheric components i...
متن کاملEvidence for carbonyl sulfide (OCS) conversion to CO in the lower atmosphere of Venus
[1] The chemical regimes in the atmosphere of Venus vary from photochemistry in the middle atmosphere to thermal equilibrium chemistry in the lower atmosphere and the surface. Many chemical cycles have been proposed, but few details about these cycles are fully verified by comparison between observations and modeling. Recent high-quality data of carbonyl sulfide (OCS) and CO from ground-based a...
