Planetary Atmospheres

Introductory Notes on Planetary Science, 2020
Fig 1: Image of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan from Cassini’s ISS camera. Titan’s thick atmosphere is often used as an early-Earth analogue. A south polar cloud is visible near the image centre, coinciding with Titan’s polar vortex.

Spectroscopy and Photochemistry of Planetary Atmospheres and Ionospheres

, 2019
chemical 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, 2007
Thanks 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 ...

Fluorescence in planetary atmospheres

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1957
It 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 ...

Dissipation of Planetary Atmospheres

Science, 1959
Escape-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 ...

The Penetration of Planetary Atmospheres [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal 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 ...

General Circulation of Planetary Atmospheres

, 2014
This 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 ...

Jets in Planetary Atmospheres

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.
