Venus Express (VEX) has been monitoring key nightglow emissions and thermal features (O₂ IR nightglow, NO UV nightglow, and nightside temperatures) which contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the global dynamics and circulation patterns above ∼90 km. The nightglow emissions serve as effective tracers of Venus' middle and upper …
