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

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.

Lightning detection in planetary atmospheres [PDF]
Weather, 2016 Lightning in planetary atmospheres is now a well-established concept. Here we discuss the available detection techniques for, and observations of, planetary lightning by spacecraft, planetary landers and, increasingly, sophisticated terrestrial radio ...

PLANETARY WAVES IN THE ATMOSPHERE [PDF]
Journal of Meteorology, 1954 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 ...

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.

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.

Origin and evolution of planetary atmospheres [PDF]
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1980 Spacecraft and groundbased observations of the atmospheres of solar system objects have provided a definition of their present characteristics and have yielded clues about their past history.

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 ...
