Nightside temperature measurements at 95 km from OH nightglow in the Venus atmosphere
Abstract
Temperature estimations at an altitude of about 95 km on the night side of Venus are provided. They are derived from hydroxyl nightglow emissions, observed in the infrared spectral range at 2.7-3.5 micron, using the Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer on board Venus Express.
