    High-resolution microwave images of saturn (1989)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1989-09-15
    Description: An analysis of high-resolution microwave images of Saturn and Saturn's individual rings is presented. Radio interferometric observations of Saturn taken at the Very Large Array in New Mexico at wavelengths of 2 and 6 centimeters reveal interesting new features in both the atmosphere and rings. The resulting maps show an increase in brightness temperature of about 3 K from equator to pole at both wavelengths, while the 6-centimeter map shows a bright band at northern mid-latitudes. The data are consistent with a radiative transfer model of the atmosphere that constrains the well-mixed, fully saturated, NH(3) mixing ratio to be 1.2 x 10(-4) in a region just below the NH(3) clouds, while the observed bright band indicates a 25 percent relative decrease of NH(3) in northern mid-latitudes. Brightness temperatures for the classical rings are presented. Ring brightness shows a variation with azimuth and is linearly polarized at an average value of about 5 percent. The variations in ring polarization suggest that at least 20 percent of the ring brightness is the result of a single scattering process.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Grossman, A W -- Muhleman, D O -- Berge, G L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1989 Sep 15;245(4923):1211-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17747882" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Radar reflectivity of titan (1990)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1990-05-25
    Description: The present understanding of the atmosphere and surface conditions on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, including the stability of methane, and an application of thermodynamics leads to a strong prediction of liquid hydrocarbons in an ethane-methane mixture on the surface. Such a surface would have nearly unique microwave reflection properties due to the low dielectric constant. Attempts were made to obtain reflections at a wavelength of 3.5 centimeters by means of a 70-meter antenna in California as the transmitter and the Very Large Array in New Mexico as the receiving instrument. Statistically significant echoes were obtained that show Titan is not covered with a deep, global ocean of ethane, as previously thought. The experiment yielded radar cross sections normalized by the Titan disk of 0.38 +/- 0.15, 0.78 +/- 0.15, and 0.25 +/- 0.15 on three consecutive nights during which the sub-Earth longitude on Titan moved 50 degrees. The result for the combined data for the entire experiment is 0.35 +/- 0.08. The cross sections are very high, most consistent with those of the Galilean satellites; no evidence of the putative liquid ethane was seen in the reflection data. A global ocean as shallow as about 200 meters would have exhibited reflectivities smaller by an order of magnitude, and below the detection limit of the experiment. The measured emissivity at similar wavelengths of about 0.9 is somewhat inconsistent with the high reflectivity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Muhleman, D O -- Grossman, A W -- Butler, B J -- Slade, M A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 May 25;248(4958):975-80.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17745402" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Radar images of Mars (1991)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1991-09-27
    Description: Full disk images of Mars have been obtained with the use of the Very Large Array (VLA) to map the radar reflected flux density. The transmitter system was the 70-m antenna of the Deep Space Network at Goldstone, California. The surface of Mars was illuminated with continuous wave radiation at a wavelength of 3,5 cm. The reflected energy was mapped in individual 12-minute snapshots with the VLA in its largest configuration; fringe spacings as small as 67 km were obtained. The images reveal near-surface features including a region in the Tharsis volcano area, over 2000 km in east-west extent, that displayed no echo to the very low level of the radar system noise. The feature, called Stealth, is interpreted as a deposit of dust or ash with a density less than about 0.5 gram per cubic centimeter and free of rocks larger than 1 cm across. The deposit must be several meters thick and may be much deeper. The strongest reflecting geological feature was the south polar ice cap, which was reduced in size to the residual south polar ice cap at the season of observation. The cap image is interpreted as arising from nearly pure CO(2) or H(2)O ice with a small amount of martian dust (less than 2 percent by volume) and a depth greater than 2 to 5 m. Only one anomalous reflecting feature was identified outside of the Tharsis region, although the Elysium region was poorly sampled in this experiment and the north pole was not visible from Earth.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Muhleman, D O -- Butler, B J -- Grossman, A W -- Slade, M A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1991 Sep 27;253(5027):1508-13.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17784090" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    VEGA Balloon Dynamics and Vertical Winds in the Venus Middle Cloud Region (1986)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1986-03-21
    Description: The VEGA balloons provided a long-term record of vertical wind fluctuations in a planetary atmosphere other than Earth's. The vertical winds were calculated from the observed displacement of the balloon relative to its equilibrium float altitude. The winds were intermittent; a large burst lasted several hours, and the peak velocity was 3 meters per second.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Linkin, V M -- Kerzhanovich, V V -- Lipatov, A N -- Pichkadze, K M -- Shurupov, A A -- Terterashvili, A V -- Ingersoli, A P -- Crisp, D -- Grossman, A W -- Young, R E -- Seiff, A -- Ragent, B -- Blamont, J E -- Elson, L S -- Preston, R A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Mar 21;231(4744):1417-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17748083" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Mars atmospheric water (1992)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-29
    Description: We indicate the Dec. 3-4 spectrum averaged over the morning limb of Mars. Two synthetic spectra indicate the expected line emission for 3 precipitable microns of water with a uniform vertical distribution (dotted) and a vertical distribution in which water decreases rapidly above 20 km altitude if Mars atmospheric temperatures are approximately 20 K cooler than implied by the Viking Infrared Thermal Mapping (IRTM) and lander descent observations. Such cooler atmospheric temperatures have been argued on the basis of ground-based microwave observations of Mars atmospheric CO. Our 3 pr micron column abundance for water can be compared to the global value of approximately 6 pr microns, observation for the same season with the Viking MAWD experiment in 1977. We will investigate the latitude and diurnal variations when the data corresponding to the second day of observations are reduced. We also plan to compare these VLA water observations with a very complementary set of Hubble Space Telescope ozone observations. Ultraviolet (220-330 nm) spectra and imates of Mars were obtained on Dec. 13 1990 as part of a general Mars observing program with the Hubble Space Telescope.

    VLA mapping of 1.35 cm water emission from the Mars atmospheric limb (1992)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-29
    Description: We report preliminary results of 1.35 cm spectral line observations, in which we employed the NRAO Very Large Array (VLA) interferometer to map the horizontal and vertical distributions of water vapor around the Mars atmospheric limb in early Dec. of 1990. The increased atmospheric pathlengths presented near the limb of Mars and the high angular resolution afforded by the VLA at centimeter wavelengths lead to a remarkably sensitive, remote measurement of water in the atmosphere of Mars. We achieve approximately 300 km horizontal resolution on Mars, operating in the C configuration of the VLA, when Mars was 17.3 inches in diameter. This allows us to resolve the latitudinal and diurnal variations in atmospheric water emission around the limb of Mars. We derive the vertical distribution of atmospheric water from observed pressure broadening in the spectrally resolved lineshapes. These observations, which consist of two eight-hour integrations obtained on Dec. 3-4 and Dec. 6-7, correspond to late winter in the Northern Hemisphere of Mars (L sub s = 344 degrees).
