Variability of the nitric oxide nightglow at Venus during solar minimum
Montmessin, F.; Marcq, E.; Royer, E. M.
We present results from a NO airglow inversion method based on Venus Express data acquired from 2006 to 2010, during the last solar minimum period. We retrieve an altitude of 114 ± 10 km for the emission peak of the NO layer, with an associated scale height of 20 ± 10 km and an average limb brightness of 59.3 kR with a standard deviation of 63 kR.…
