Convective storms in closed cyclones in Jupiter: (II) numerical modeling
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
On May 31, 2020 a convective storm appeared in one small cyclone in the South Temperate Belt (STB) of Jupiter. The storm, nicknamed as Clyde's Spot, had an explosive start and quickly diminished in activity in a few days. ...
Winds at the Mars 2020 Landing Site. 2. Wind Variability and Turbulence
(American Geophysical Union, 2022-12)
Wind speeds measured by the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover in Jezero crater were fitted as a Weibull distribution. InSight wind data acquired in Elysium Planitia were also used to contextualize observations. Jezero winds ...
Constraints on the structure and seasonal variations of Triton's atmosphere from the 5 October 2017 stellar occultation and previous observations
(EDP Sciences, 2022)
Context. A stellar occultation by Neptune's main satellite, Triton, was observed on 5 October 2017 from Europe, North Africa, and the USA. We derived 90 light curves from this event, 42 of which yielded a central flash ...
The dynamic atmospheric and aeolian environment of Jezero crater, Mars
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2022-05)
Despite the importance of sand and dust to Mars geomorphology, weather, and exploration, the processes that move sand and that raise dust to maintain Mars' ubiquitous dust haze and to produce dust storms have not been well ...
The sound of a Martian dust devil
(Nature, 2022-12)
Dust devils (convective vortices loaded with dust) are common at the surface of Mars, particularly at Jezero crater, the landing site of the Perseverance rover. They are indicators of atmospheric turbulence and are an ...
Reflectivity of Venus's Dayside Disk During the 2020 Observation Campaign: Outcomes and Future Perspectives
(IOP, 2022-09)
We performed a unique Venus observation campaign to measure the disk brightness of Venus over a broad range of wavelengths in 2020 August and September. The primary goal of the campaign was to investigate the absorption ...
Convective storms in closed cyclones in Jupiter's South Temperate Belt: (I) observations
(Elsevier, 2022-07-01)
On May 31, 2020 a short-lived convective storm appeared in one of the small cyclones of Jupiter's South Temperate Belt (STB) at planetographic latitude 30.8S. The outbreak was captured by amateur astronomer Clyde Foster ...
