Impact of the Turbulent Vertical Mixing on Chemical and Cloud Species in the Venus Cloud Layer
Marcq, Emmanuel; Stolzenbach, Aurélien; Lefèvre, Franck +3 more
The Venusian atmosphere hosts a 10 km deep convective layer that has been studied by various spacecrafts. However, the impact of the strong vertical mixing on the chemistry of this region is still unknown. This study presents the first realistic coupling between resolved small-scale turbulence and a chemical network. The resulting vertical mixing …
Changes in the Plasma Sheet Conditions at Europa's Orbit Retrieved From Lead Angle of the Satellite Auroral Footprints
Tsuchiya, Fuminori; Kasaba, Yasumasa; Nichols, Jonathan D. +5 more
The electromagnetic interaction between Europa and the plasma sheet in the Jovian magnetosphere generates Alfvén waves, ultimately generating auroral footprints in Jupiter's atmosphere. The position of Europa's auroral footprint is a proxy for travel time of the Alfvén waves. We measured Europa's footprint position using the far-ultraviolet images…
