Meridional Distribution of CO, H2O, and H2SO4 in the Venus' Atmosphere: A Two‐Dimensional Model Incorporating Transport and Chemical Reaction
Shinya Kuwayama + George L Hashimoto
We developed a 2‐dimensional model of Venus' atmosphere which calculates meridional distributions of chemical species such as CO, H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$O, and H2SO4 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}{\text{SO}}_{4}$....

Is OSSO a Significant Contributor to the Unknown UV Absorber in Venus' Atmosphere?
Joanna Egan + John M C Plane + Alexander James ...
It has been proposed that two isomers of the SO dimer (cis‐ and trans‐OSSO) are candidates for the unknown UV absorber in Venus' atmosphere because they have a...
