Reviews of Geophysics, 1979 Four years is approximately the doubling time for knowledge of extra‐terrestrial planetary atmospheres. During 1975–8 the results of several important missions to Venus, Mars, Jupiter and its satellites were analyzed, and during 1979 more spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter and Saturn.

The kinetic theory of planetary atmospheres [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, 1900 The application of the kinetic theory to the atmospheres of planets dates from the paper of Waterston, who gave an investigation based on the then only possible assumption of equal velocities for all molecules, an assumption since known as Clausius’ law. Of later papers reference is due in especial to Dr.

THE COMPOSITION OF PLANETARY ATMOSPHERES [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1981 During the past 10 years, great progress has been made in our knowledge of the planetary atmospheres, mainly due to the recent development of infrared techniques and space astronomy.

The Escape of Planetary Atmospheres [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1974 The problem of escape of atmospheres from the Moon and planets has roots deep in ancient history. Many of the great philosophers of the past regarded the Earth's atmosphere as a medium extending to infinity, with a stationary Earth imbedded at the center.

Infrared spectroscopy of planetary atmospheres [PDF]
Comptes Rendus. Physique, 2005 Abstract Spectroscopy is at the root of modern planetology, in that it gives access remotely to the possibility to analyze the physical properties of planets. Today, the spectacular advance in techniques and models available to planetology reach an accuracy giving access to new domains in planetary physics, as meteorology, physico-chemical processes,

Meteorological Applications, 2010 AbstractPlanetary meteorologists seek to understand the origin and evolution of the family of planets that orbit the Sun, to investigate the stability of their atmospheres and to compare the surface environment and climate with the Earth. The radiative, dynamical and chemical processes in Earth's atmosphere all have analogues on the other planets: by ...

A simulation chamber for absorption spectroscopy in planetary atmospheres [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2021 A novel simulation chamber, PASSxS (Planetary Atmosphere Simulation System for Spectroscopy), has been developed for absorption measurements performed with a Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) and, possibly, a cavity ring-down (CRD) spectrometer with ...

Superrotation in Planetary Atmospheres [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 2020 AbstractSuperrotation is a dynamical regime where the atmosphere circulates around the planet in the direction of planetary rotation with excess angular momentum in the equatorial region. Superrotation is known to exist in the atmospheres of Venus, Titan, Jupiter, and Saturn in the solar system. Some of the exoplanets also exhibit superrotation.

Quantifying the Key Factors Affecting the Escape of Planetary Atmospheres
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The habitability of Earth-like planets is an increasingly important subject in astrophysics and in planetary sciences. Atmospheric escape plays a vital role in the evolution of the habitability of Earth-like planets.

Non-Thermal Nitric Oxide Formation in the Earth’s Polar Atmosphere
Atmosphere, 2023 Auroral events are the prominent manifestation of solar/stellar forcing on planetary atmospheres because they are closely related to the stellar energy deposition by and evolution of planetary atmospheres.
