内容記述 | The reported observations of the J = 0-1 rotational transition (115271.2 MHz) of carbon monoxide in the Venusian atmosphere indicate that the distribution of stratospheric CO is variable. Observations were obtained with a 11-m antenna on several days in February 1977, when Venus was near maximum eastern elongation (k approximately 0.4), and in April 1977 during inferior conjunction (k approximately 0.01). Differences in the line intensities and shapes for the two data sets are described. The results are interpreted to suggest that on the nightside of Venus there is relatively more CO at higher altitudes and relatively less CO at lower altitudes than on the dayside of the planet. |
