Scientific paper

The Venus Monitoring Camera (VMC) and the Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS) instruments on Venus Express spacecraft have been observing Venus since orbit insertion in April 2006. The state of the atmosphere in 2006 was in the form of a hemispheric vortex centered over the south pole, and presumably, another one in the northen hemisphere. The VMC and VIRTIS data have been used to determine cloud motions as well as the structure and organization of the atmospheric circulation from the the data collected since June 2006. In June 2007, the MESSENGER spacecraft flew-past Venus and also observed Venus on approach and departure from Venus. We report on the atmosphere of Venus as it appeared during this period.
