PAG plans its
fourth Data Workshop. This workshop will explain images at 10 µm of
Venus (see the sample image above), which provides atmospheric
temperature information, ~65 km above the surface. The Longwave
Infrared Camera (LIR) acquired the sample image from the Akatsuki Venus
orbiter, operating since 2015. The global-scale atmospheric wave is
clearly visible on the Venus disk's left half (note that Venus's radius
is 6,052 km). The source of the wave is the high mountains on the
surface (1-5 km elevation), implying the important surface influence on
the planet's atmosphere.
The goals of PAG’s Data Workshops are
- Lowering a
barrier for researchers to access recent Venus data
- Providing
opportunities for internships (either undergraduate or graduate
school students) to join PAG during the summer vacation and
beyond.
