Thermal structure of the Venusian atmosphere from the sub-cloud region to the mesosphere as observed by radio occultation

Tellmann, Silvia; Pätzold, Martin; Imamura, Takeshi +9 more

We present distributions of the zonal-mean temperature and static stability in the Venusian atmosphere obtained from Venus Express and Akatsuki radio occultation profiles penetrating down to an altitude of 40 km. At latitudes equatorward of 75°, static stability derived from the observed temperature profiles is consistent with previous in-situ mea…
