Physics

Scientific paper

We observed Venus on 19-23 Aug 2010 (UT) using a systematic sampling scheme to investigate equatorial wind velocities in the upper troposphere/lower thermosphere region above the cloud tops. Spectra were acquired at high resolving power (λ/Δλ=2.5×107) to determine line of sight velocity to the pressure-broadened CO2 absorption feature in the 10.6 μm lasing band vs. the thermal Doppler-broadened non-LTE core emission formed in the lower thermosphere. The altitude differential between the CO2 spectral features enables an investigation of the transition from predominantly zonal wind flow in the troposphere to predominantly subsolar-to-antisolar flow in the thermosphere.
