Remote sensing of planetary atmospheres: Venus by Taylor, F

“…The problem is further complicated by the high temperatures and pressures found in the deep atmosphere, resulting in a novel and interesting radiative transfer problem even before scattering and absorption by cloud particles is taken into account. …”

THE DEEP ATMOSPHERE OF VENUS by Calcutt, S, Taylor, F

“…Venus as a planet resembles the Earth, but has a much hotter and denser atmosphere due to an extreme case of the greenhouse effect, caused by compositional differences and tile thick cloud cover. …”

Radioactivity and atmospheric condensation nuclei by Harrison, R, Aplin, K

Investigation of Saturn's atmosphere by Cassini by Taylor, F, Calcutt, S, Irwin, P, Nixon, C, Read, P, Smith, P, Vellacott, T

“…This paper considers the rationale for the exploration of Saturn's atmosphere by the Cassini mission, taking account of the key scientific questions posed by the earlier investigation by Voyager, and the capabilities of the instrumentation making up the Cassini payload. …”

CARBON-MONOXIDE IN THE DEEP ATMOSPHERE OF VENUS by Taylor, F

“…The cloud structure and minor constituent distributions in the deep atmosphere of Venus observed from the Galileo spacecraft offer fascinating insights into the properties of this little-explored region of the Earth's nearest planetary neighbour. …”

Uncertainty estimates for atmospheric neutrino fluxes by Barr, G, Gaisser, T, Stanev, T

“…Starting from a survey of experimental measurements, we assign uncertainties to the two most critical inputs to the calculation of fluxes of unoscillated atmospheric neutrinos, the hadron production and the primary cosmic ray fluxes. …”

Xe, mantle degassing, and atmospheric closure by Porcelli, D, Pepin, R, Halliday, A, Ballentine, C

A MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE DATA-BASE by Corney, M, Rodgers, C, Taylor, F

A numerical model of the atmosphere of Venus by Lee, C, Lewis, SR, Read, P

“…Venus presents unique numerical and physical challenges because of its thick atmosphere, slow underlying solid body rotation, and super-rotating atmosphere. …”

Demonstrated Aeolus benefits in atmospheric sciences by Rennie, M, Stoffelen, A, Khaykin, S, Osprey, S, Wright, C, Banyard, T, Straume, AG, Reitebuch, O, Krisch, I, Parrinello, T, Von Bismarck, J, Wernham, D

“…Its scientific objectives are to improve weather forecasts and to advance the understanding of atmospheric dynamics and its interaction with the atmospheric energy and water cycle. …”

VALIDATION OF ISAMS RETRIEVALS OF ATMOSPHERIC-TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE by Dudhia, A, Livesey, N, Taylor, F

“…The ISAMS instrument on the UARS satellite uses the pressure-modulation radiometry technique to measure a variety of middle-atmosphere parameters. The temperature and pressure are retrieved using data from two CO2 modulators giving useful results in the altitude range 15-km to 80-km (100-mb to 0.01-mb) with a vertical resolution of approximately 2.5-km and precision of a few K in temperature and a few percent in pressure. …”

Reduced-order models of the Martian atmospheric dynamics by Martinez-Alvarado, O, Moroz, I, Read, P, Lewis, S

“…In this paper we explore the possibility of deriving low-dimensional models of the dynamics of the Martian atmosphere. The analysis consists of a Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) of the atmospheric streamfunction after first decomposing the vertical structure with a set of eigenmodes. …”

AN OPERATIONAL DATA ASSIMILATION SCHEME FOR THE MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE by Lewis, S, Read, P

A parametrisation of UV polarisation of the earth's atmosphere by Schutgens, N, Stammes, P

The structure and dynamics of the outer atmosphere of epsilon Eri by Sim, SA, Jordan, C, Dupree, A

“…The area filling factor of emitting material is determined in the upper atmosphere as a function of temperature. This provides new constraints on how the magnetic field might spread out in the atmosphere of an active main sequence star. …”

Wave interactions and baroclinic chaos: A paradigm for long timescale variability in planetary atmospheres by Read, P, Collins, M, Fruh, W, Lewis, SR, Lovegrove, A

“…Baroclinic instability is the principal mode of non-axisymmetric flow in the large-scale atmospheric circulation at mid-latitudes, and is responsible for oganising the structure and behaviour of major weather systems. …”

On the distribution and variability of water vapour in the middle atmosphere of Venus by Taylor, F

“…Water is a key constituent of every planetary environment, and on Venus its abundance, distribution and temporal behaviour are crucial for understanding greenhouse warming, cloud formation and dissipation, volcanism, and atmospheric evolution. Many telescopic and spacecraft-based observations of atmospheric water vapour on Venus have been made, but are inconclusive about its role as a component of the current climate system on the planet. …”

Hadron interaction simulation in atmospheric neutrino flux calculations by Barr, G

“…The aspects of hadron simulation affecting the calculation of unoscillated atmospheric neutrino fluxes is discussed. The method of simulating the atmospheric cascades is described. …”

Models for the distribution of terrestrial noble gases and evolution of the atmosphere by Porcelli, D, Ballentine, C

Some fundamental questions concerning the circulation of the atmosphere of Venus by Taylor, F

“…There has been very little new data on the atmosphere of Venus in recent years, but ongoing studies of data from space missions such as Pioneer Venus, Venera and Galileo, plus ground-based observations, have uncovered, but not yet resolved, a number of fundamental questions relating to the atmospheric global circulation. …”
