ABSTRACT

Travis et al. 1979

Travis, L.D., D.L. Coffeen, A.D. Del Genio, J.E. Hansen, K. Kawabata, A.A. Lacis, W.A. Lane, S.A. Limaye, W.B. Rossow, and P.H. Stone, 1979: Cloud images from the Pioneer Venus orbiter. Science, 205, 74-76, doi:10.1126/science.205.4401.74.

Ultraviolet images of Venus over a 3-month period show marked evolution of the planetary scale features ion the cloud patterns. The dark horizontal Y feature recurs quasi-periodically, at intervals of about 4-days, but it has also been absent for periods of several weeks. Bow-shaped features observed in Pioneer Venus images are farther upstream from the subsolar point than those in Mariner 10 images.
