The atmospheric structure of Triton in the altitude range 25-150 km shows an unexpectedly steep thermal gradient of 0.26 K km -1 above 50 km altitude, with a nearly isothermal profile below. The upper part of the profile can be explained by downward conduction of heat deposited by magnetospheric ele

A radiative-thermal conduction model for the vertical thermal structure of Io's atmosphere is developed with solar heating by \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) absorption in UV and near-IR bands and non-LTE cooling by \(\mathrm{SO}_{2} \nu_{1}, \nu_{2}, \nu_{3}\), vibrational bands and rotational lines. The model
*Thermal Physics of the Atmosphere* offers a concise and thorough introduction on how basic thermodynamics naturally leads on to advanced topics in atmospheric physics. The book starts by covering the basics of thermodynamics and its applications in atmospheric science.Β The later chapters describe
## Abstract Some measurements from aircraft of the emissivity of the earth's surface are described. They show that for the type of surface studied, the earth's surface is radiating as a blackβbody at a temperature somewhere between screen air temperature and grass or seaβsurface temperature.
