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),

This service provides a compilation of spectra of asteroids in the
visible and NIR range. It is composed of various libraries distributed
as VizieR catalogues. Reformatted VOtable or fits versions are
provided with thumbnails. Ephemeris data are retrieved from Miriade
(IMCCE) for the reference date when possible.
This service provides a compilation of global spectra of planets and
satellites in the visible and NIR range, for quick reference purpose.
It is made from various libraries, including the
Tohoku-Hiroshima-Nagoya Planet Spectra Library (Lundock et al 2009)
and spectra from a USGS web site (R. Clark). Reformatted VOtable
versions are provided together with links to the original data.
The database contains profiles of atmospheric CO2 density and
temperature derived thereof, and ozone concentration profiles, all
derived from the first year(s) of SPICAM UV stellar occultation
observations (Forget et al. 2009, Lebonnois et al. 2006). The database
also includes the full dataset of four Martian years of aerosol
extinction profiles from SPICAM UV solar occultations (Määttänen et
al. 2013).
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.
