Venus: microwave detection of carbon monoxide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 115-gigahertz microwave line of carbon monoxide has been detected in the spectrum of Venus. The measurement proves that the carbon monoxide mixing ratio increases above an altitude of 85 kilometers in the Venus stratosphere and provides quantitative information on carbon monoxide in the altitude region from 80 to 110 kilometers. This altitude region is well above that which has been previously sensed.

Catalytic processes in the atmospheres of Earth and venus.
Photochemical processes in planetary atmospheres are strongly influenced by catalytic effects of minor constituents. Catalytic cycles in the atmospheres of Earth and Venus are closely related. For example, chlorine oxides (CIOx) act as catalysts in the two atmospheres. On Earth, they serve to convert odd oxygen (atomic oxygen and ozone) to molecular oxygen. On Venus they have a similar effect, ...
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 کاملDetection of napropamide by microwave resonator sensor using carbon nanotube – polypyrrole- chitosan layer
This paper presents the design and fabrication of proximity coupled feed disk resonator coated with Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Polypyrrole-Chitosan (PPy-CHI) layers as a napropamide sensor. Computer Simulation Technology (CST) microwave studio was used to obtain the best design of disk resonator and feed line position in 5 GHz resonant frequency. Also, MWCNTs - PPy-CHI layers we...
متن کاملTropospheric carbon monoxide concentrations and variability on Venus from Venus Express/VIRTIS-M observations
[1] We present nightside observations of tropospheric carbon monoxide in the southern hemisphere near the 35 km height level, the first from Venus Express/Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS)-M-IR. VIRTIS-M data from 2.18 to 2.50 mm, with a spectral resolution of 10 nm, were used in the analysis. Spectra were binned, with widths ranging from 5 to 30 spatial pixels, to incr...
متن کاملSimulations of the Atmospheric Microwave and Millimeter Wave Emission from Venus using a Radiative
Introduction: The Georgia Tech Venus Radiative Transfer Model (VRTM) can be used to model the effects of the abundances of microwave and millimeter wave absorbing constituents on the emission from the Venus troposphere and mesosphere. The primary components of the Venus atmosphere are CO2 and N2, but variation in concentration of sulfur compounds, specifically gaseous H2SO4 and SO2, result in c...
