A planetary-scale disturbance in a long living three vortex coupled system in Saturn's atmosphere
(Elservier, 2017-12-22)
The zonal wind profile of Saturn has a unique structure at 60°N with a double-peaked jet that reaches maximum zonal velocities close to 100 ms−1. In this region, a singular group of vortices consisting of a cyclone surrounded ...
The 2018 Martian Global Dust Storm over the South Polar Region studied with MEx/VMC
(AGU, 2019-08-13)
We study the 2018 Martian global dust storm (GDS 2018) over the Southern Polar Region using images obtained by the Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC) on board Mars Express (MEx) during June and July 2018. Dust penetrated into ...
A long term study of Mars mesospheric clouds seen at twilight based on Mars Express VMC images
(Wiley, 2021)
We present the first systematic study of clouds observed during twilight on Mars. We analyze images obtained by the Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC) on Mars Express between 2007 and 2020. Using an automated retrieval algorithm ...
Multilayer hazes over Saturn’s hexagon from Cassini ISS limb images
(Nature, 2020-05-08)
In June 2015, Cassini high-resolution images of Saturn's limb southwards of the planet's hexagonal wave revealed a system of at least six stacked haze layers above the upper cloud deck. Here, we characterize those haze ...
Cellular patterns and dry convection in textured dust storms at the edge of Mars North Polar Cap
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
We present a study of textured local dust storms that develop at the northern polar cap boundary on Mars springtime. We have used images obtained with VMC and HRSC cameras onboard Mars Express and MARCI on MRO to analyze ...
Dynamical Phenomena in the Martian Atmosphere Through Mars Express Imaging
(Springer Nature, 2024)
This review describes the dynamic phenomena in the atmosphere of Mars that are visible in images taken in the visual range through cloud formation and dust lifting. We describe the properties of atmospheric features traced ...
