An Atmospheric Radiative Transfer Model to Constrain Lower-Atmospheric Characteristics of the Venusian Atmosphere

Kurzfassung

Obtaining data from Venus’ atmosphere and surface is a unique challenge. Measurements in these spectral regions as shown in Figure 1 can be utilized to constrain surface emissivity, water vapor abundance in lower atmosphere, and cloud properties thus paving way for surface and near-surface atmosphere studies. In order to process the data from these missions once they are available, Atmosphere Radiative Transfer Modelling (ARTM) of the Venusian atmosphere is a necessary first step. Here we present on-going work on our Venus ARTM which will be relevant for interpreting future data.
