Spectroscopy and Photochemistry of Planetary Atmospheres and Ionospheres
, 2019chemical composition of any planetary atmosphere is of fundamental importance in determining its photochemistry and dynamics in addition to its thermal balance, climate, origin, and evolution.

Planetary atmospheres with ALMA
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2007Thanks to its sensitivity, spatial resolution and instantaneous uv-coverage, ALMA will permit many new studies related to the general topic of the couplings between chemistry and dynamics in planetary atmospheres. It will include: (1) three-dimensional mapping of composition, temperatures and winds in the atmospheres of Mars, Venus and Titan; (2 ...

Escape of planetary atmospheres: physical processes and numerical models
, 2017We address the problem of the dissipation (escape) of planetary atmospheres and discuss the physical mechanisms controlling the nature of the relevant processes and review the mathematical models and numerical methods used in the analysis of this ...

Dissipation of Planetary Atmospheres
Science, 1959Escape-level density is approximately inversely proportional to gravity and with decreasing mass will tend toward that of interplanetary gas. When this value is reached, dissipation must cease. The minimum possible ground density of lunar air is calculated to be 10 –12 that of the air at normal temperature and ...

Zones, spots, and planetary-scale waves beating in brown dwarf atmospheres
Science, 2017Beating bands in substellar atmospheres Brown dwarfs are objects with masses that are between those of large planets and small stars. They share many features with gas giant planets, particularly conditions in their atmospheres. Apai et al.

The Penetration of Planetary Atmospheres [PDF]
Journal of Heat Transfer, 1959 The problems of penetrating a planetary atmosphere are reviewed and techniques for penetration are discussed. These techniques are resolved into two general classes: (1) Gradual entry into the atmosphere with relatively low deceleration loads and heating rates low enough so that the heat may be rejected by thermal radiation from the surface; and (2 ...

Fluorescence in planetary atmospheres
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1957It is pointed out that ions and free radicals will exist in the high atmospheres of the planets and that these ions will absorb and fluoresce in the visible and near ultra-violet radiations. Applications of this effect to the problem of the colour of Venus, the blue haze of Mars, the variation of brightness of Jupiter and the haze of Mercury are ...

2019
Jet streams, “jets” for short, are remarkably coherent streams of air found in every major atmosphere. They have a profound effect on a planet’s global circulation and have been an enigma since the belts and zones of Jupiter were discovered in the 1600s.

General Circulation of Planetary Atmospheres
, 2014This chapter focuses on the "classical" thermally driven, rotating annulus system. It reviews the current state of understanding of the rich and diverse range of flow regimes that may be exhibited in thermal annulus experiments from the viewpoint of ...
