Scientific paper

The cloud structure and minor constituent distributions in the deep atmosphere of Venus observed from Galileo spacecraft offer fascinating insights into the properties of this little-explored region of the Earth's nearest planetary neighbor. The morphology and spatial variations seen in the main mass of clouds are remarkable, and suggest a powerful and diverse meteorology dominated by convection. Carbon monoxide is significantly more abundant at high northern latitudes than at low latitudes in either hemisphere; the possible reasons for this have important implications for the atmospheric general circulation and possibly for the extent of currently active volcanism. These are explored here using simple models.
