内容記述 | The structure and composition of the Venus upper atmosphere between 130- and 650-km altitude were measured for a solar zenith angle of approximately 60 deg by the neutral gas mass spectrometer on board the Pioneer Venus multiprobe bus. Below 180 km a wavelike structure is quite evident in the CO2 and He number density profiles. For altitudes above 100 km a one-dimensional model of the Venus upper atmosphere during morningside conditions (MS model) is presented. Number densities at 150-km altitude are as follows: CO2 equals 4.2 x 10 to the 9th, N2 equals 1.1 x 10 to the 9th, CO equals 2.8 x 10 to the 9th, and He equals 4.8 x 10 to the 6th per cu cm. The homopause altitudes for N2 and He are at 136 and 130 km, respectively. |
