HST observations of planets, dwarf planets, and satellites, extracted
from the CADC database catalogue (with daily updates). Data are linked
to the CADC repository, with file names common to all HST archives.
Both calibrated and derived products are included. The main target is
identified. Physical ephemeris and thumbnails are provided when
available. Files and previews are not accessible during the
proprietary period.

Description:
Profiles of species in Venus atmosphere terminator. Data retrieved
from calibrated spectra obtained with the SPICAV-SOIR instrument on
board the Venus Express spacecraft. These spectra can be checked on
the ESA PSA repository. See: A.C. Vandaele et al., Contribution from
SOIR/VEX to the updated Venus International Reference Atmosphere
(VIRA), Adv. Space Res. (2015),

The database contains some outputs of the VCD for the scenarios : {1)
Standard cloud albedo Scenario, solar EUV average conditions ; 2)
Standard cloud albedo Scenario, solar EUV minimum conditions ; 3)
Standard cloud albedo Scenario, solar EUV maximum conditions ; 4) Low
cloud albedo Scenario, solar EUV average conditions ; 5) High cloud
albedo Scenario, solar EUV average conditions available}, at different
positions of latitude and longitude. These VCD outputs are provided as
Votables containing profiles of temperatures, pressures, density and
abundances of main species for altitudes between 0 and 349.5 km from
the surface.
