Earth atmospheric loss through the plasma mantle and its dependence on solar wind parameters
Nilsson, Hans; Dandouras, Iannis; Slapak, Rikard +3 more
Atmospheric loss and ion outflow play an important role in the magnetospheric dynamics and in the evolution of the atmosphere on geological timescales—an evolution which is also dependent on the solar activity. In this paper, we investigate the total
An uppermost haze layer above 100 km found over Venus by the SOIR instrument onboard Venus Express
Vandaele, Ann Carine; Robert, Séverine; Mahieux, Arnaud +3 more
The Solar Occultation in the InfraRed (SOIR) instrument onboard Venus Express was designed to measure the Venusian atmospheric transmission at high altitudes (65–220 km) in the infrared range (2.2–4.3 µm) with a high spectral resolution. In this work, we investigate the optical properties of Venus's haze layer above 90 km using SOIR solar oc…
