Local-time Dependence of Chemical Species in the Venusian Mesosphere

Shao, Wencheng D.; Zhang, Xi; Mendonça, João +1 more

Observed chemical species in the Venusian mesosphere show local-time variabilities. SO₂ at the cloud top exhibits two local maxima over local time, H₂O at the cloud top is uniformly distributed, and CO in the upper atmosphere shows a statistical difference between the two terminators. In this study, we investigated these loca…
