| 内容記述 | Orbiter Infrared Radiometer images of the northern hemisphere dipole of Venus made at 11.5 microns aboard the Pioneer Venus Orbiter are used to investigate the detailed rotation of the dipole. The rotation rate is observed to change steadily over the 72-day data set, and there is some evidence for oscillatory variations superimposed on this trend. The relationship of the periodicity of the dipole and its long-term variation to the circulation of the cloud top atmosphere is discussed. The steady deceleration of the dipole is shown to be accompanied by a slow drift in the thermal structure of the polar atmosphere. |
