Scattering particles in nightside limb observations of Venus' upper atmosphere by Venus Express VIRTIS
Nightside infrared limb spectra of the Venus upper atmosphere, obtained by Venus Express VIRTIS, show strong scattering of thermal radiation. This scattering of upward-going radiation into the line-of-sight is dominant below 82.5. km even at a wavelength of 5 μm, which is indicative of relatively la...
