Long-term variations in abundance and distribution of sulfuric acid vapor in the Venus atmosphere inferred from Pioneer Venus and Magellan radio occultation studies [PDF]

open access: yes
Radio occultation experiments have been used to study various properties of planetary atmospheres, including pressure and temperature profiles, and the abundance profiles of absorbing constituents in those planetary atmospheres. However, the reduction of

Whistler Critical Mach Number Concept Revisited

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The formation of a collisionless shock is the result of a balance between nonlinear steepening and processes that counteract this steepening. Dispersive shocks are shocks in which dispersive processes counterbalance the front steepening and are formed when the dispersive spatial scale exceeds scales associated with resistive processes.

The rate of volcanism on Venus [PDF]

open access: yes
The maintenance of the global H2SO4 clouds on Venus requires volcanism to replenish the atmospheric SO2 which is continually being removed from the atmosphere by reaction with calcium minerals on the surface of Venus. The first laboratory measurements of

Velocities of Venus clouds derived from VIRTIS observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Retrograde superrotation is a well known feature of the atmosphere of Venus, with Venus’ cloud tops rotating in only 4.4 days, much faster than the 243-day rotation period of the solid globe.

Remote sensing of planetary atmospheres: Venus

open access: yesAdvances in Space Research, 1998
Abstract More than any other planet except the Earth, Venus has been the subject of a variety of remote sensing investigations over a wide range of wavelengths. Since Venus has complete cloud cover, with a complex composition and layering, the retrieval of the information from these measurements is particularly challenging.

Mountain Waves and Thermal Tides of the Venusian Atmosphere Analyzed Through Thermal Infrared Images and Radio Occultation

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Thermal infrared imaging by Longwave Infrared Camera (LIR) aboard JAXA's Venus orbiter Akatsuki has revealed horizontal structures of large‐scale topographic gravity waves (mountain waves) and thermal tides in the Venusian atmosphere. For quantitative analysis of these waves, we developed a radiative transfer model for an atmosphere perturbed ...

Mountain Waves in the Upper Atmosphere of Venus

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Planetary‐scale mountain waves have been observed at the cloud top of Venus and throughout the cloud deck. As they propagate from the surface to the cloud layers, multiple observations and numerical simulations have shown that they grow in size and do ...
