Book Synopsis Spectral Measurements of Hydrogen Lyman-alpha in the Atmospheres of Venus and Jupiter Using a Sounding Rocket and the Hubble Space Telescope by : Benjamin Andrew Corbin
Download or read book Spectral Measurements of Hydrogen Lyman-alpha in the Atmospheres of Venus and Jupiter Using a Sounding Rocket and the Hubble Space Telescope written by Benjamin Andrew Corbin. This book was released on 2011. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lyman-alpha emission is a key signature of the presence of hydrogen, and from this emission many properties of planetary atmospheres can be analyzed. Two projects are studying this emission on two planets for two different scientific purposes. On Venus, the Lyman-alpha emission is being studied to measure the deuterium to hydrogen (D/H) ratio of the atmosphere's exobase. One of the mysteries of Venus is why it is so dry compared to Earth, and this measurement will constrain how much water Venus has lost since planetary formation. The measurement will be made using a telescope with a spectrograph launched on a sounding rocket scheduled for launch in early 2012 from White Sands Missile Range. On Jupiter, the Lyman-alpha emission was observed to better characterize an anomalously bright region near the equator called the Lyman-alpha Bulge. Images and spectra taken by the Hubble Space Telescope while the Bulge was on the limb were analyzed. The brightness and scale height of the atmosphere along the limb was derived from the image data.. The spectral data confirm evidence of a superthermal component and that is moving more than 15 km/s faster than remaining hydrogen. This analysis shows evidence that the Bulge is influenced by similar processes that create equatorial anomalies similar to the ones on Earth.

Book Synopsis Theory of Planetary Atmospheres by : John Marshall
Download or read book Theory of Planetary Atmospheres written by John Marshall. This book was released on 2013-10-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in atmospheric, oceanic, and climate science, Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate Dynamics is an introductory textbook on the circulations of the atmosphere and ocean and their interaction, with an emphasis on global scales. It will give students a good grasp of what the atmosphere and oceans look like on the large-scale and why they look that way. The role of the oceans in climate and paleoclimate is also discussed. The combination of observations, theory and accompanying illustrative laboratory experiments sets this text apart by making it accessible to students with no prior training in meteorology or oceanography. * Written at a mathematical level that is appealing for undergraduates and beginning graduate students * Provides a useful educational tool through a combination of observations and laboratory demonstrations which can be viewed over the web * Contains instructions on how to reproduce the simple but informative laboratory experiments * Includes copious problems (with sample answers) to help students learn the material.
