A Review of Possible Planetary Atmospheres in the TRAPPIST-1 System. [PDF]
TRAPPIST-1 is a fantastic nearby (∼39.14 light years) planetary system made of at least seven transiting terrestrial-size, terrestrial-mass planets all receiving a moderate amount of irradiation.

Superrotation in Planetary Atmospheres [PDF]
Superrotation 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.

Modelling H3+ in planetary atmospheres: effects of vertical gradients on observed quantities. [PDF]
Since its detection in the aurorae of Jupiter approximately 30 years ago, the H3+ ion has served as an invaluable probe of giant planet upper atmospheres.

A Quantitative Scaling Theory for Meridional Heat Transport in Planetary Atmospheres and Oceans [PDF]
The meridional temperature profile of the upper layers of planetary atmospheres is set through a balance between differential radiative heating by a nearby star, or by intrinsic heat fluxes emanating from the deep interior, and the redistribution of that

The kinetic theory of planetary atmospheres [PDF]
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.

PLANETARY WAVES IN THE ATMOSPHERE [PDF]
Abstract A numerical method is presented for solving the non-linear barotropic vorticity equation in spherical coordinates. It is shown that, when the stream function is expressed as a sum of surface spherical harmonics, the barotropic vorticity equation gives rise to harmonic tendency equations which express the time rate of change of the harmonic ...

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 Escape of Planetary Atmospheres [PDF]
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.

THE COMPOSITION OF PLANETARY ATMOSPHERES [PDF]
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.
