Cloud morphology and dynamics in Saturn’s northern polar region
(Elsevier, 2017-07-29)
We present a study of the cloud morphology and motions in the north polar region of Saturn, from latitude ∼ 70°N to the pole based on Cassini ISS images obtained between January 2009 and November 2014. This region shows a ...
An enduring rapidly moving storm as a guide to Saturn’s Equatorial jet’s complex structure
(Nature Publishing, 2016-11-08)
Saturn has an intense and broad eastward equatorial jet with a complex three-dimensional structure mixed with time variability. The equatorial region experiences strong seasonal insolation variations enhanced by ring ...
An intense narrow equatorial jet in Jupiter’s lower stratosphere observed by JWST
(Springer Nature, 2023-10-19)
The atmosphere of Jupiter has east–west zonal jets that alternate as a function of latitude as tracked by cloud motions at tropospheric levels. Above and below the cold tropopause at ~100 mbar, the equatorial atmosphere ...
Latitudinal Variations in Methane Abundance, Aerosol Opacity and Aerosol Scattering Efficiency in Neptune's Atmosphere Determined From VLT/MUSE
(Wiley, 2023-11)
Spectral observations of Neptune made in 2019 with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile have been analyzed to determine the spatial variation of aerosol scattering ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
