Vertical temperature profiles in the Venus mesosphere obtained by two retrieval methods from the VIRTIS-VEX observations

Banaszkiewicz, Marek; Piccioni, Giuseppe; Wolkenberg, Paulina

We present vertical temperature profiles derived by two different retrieval methods from nighttime radiation measurements performed by VIRTIS(M)-VEx (Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer, M channel-Venus Express). The Bayesian approach to the optimal estimation method and the relaxation method are applied in this study. This is a firs…
