22 Sulfur dioxide SO 2 is a key species of the Venus atmosphere Its origin is probably volcanic outgassing, even if no clear evidence of recent volcanic activity has been detected up to now Clouds (30-70 km) are made of H 2 SO 4 hydrated droplets Exchange of SO 2 between upper and lower atmosphere is not fully understood, but undoubtedly involves convection transport, presumably in conjunction with Hadley cell transport Above the clouds, it is involved in two main cycles: sulphur oxidation cycle and polysulfur cycle (hypothetical) Destroyed on the dayside through photolysis, followed by oxidation Latitude bin SO Total 142 Geo-temporal location of SO 2 measurements weak latitude/altitude variation of the minimum VMR in the km region Profiles have been averaged by latitude bins (N- S and AM-PM symmetry) Averages calculated on pressure scale A.

35 Synergistic retrievals Aim: Improve characterization of CO and CH 4 using 2 of the instruments onboard TGO Define instruments & scenarios (atmospheric state wrt season & location ; geometry of observation ; resolution ; instrument line shape ; SNR ) Fourier Transform Spectrometer (< ACS-like) Grating spectrometer (< NOMAD-like) Produce batches of 50 spectra (64 scenarios in nadir ; 64 scenarios in SO at 18 tangent heights) FTS Grating Sp.
36 Synergistic retrievals Perform retrievals - Non-synergistic: for each spectrum separately - Synergistic: - For both type of spectra at the same time (synergy Level1/ Level 1) - For both type of spectra one after the other (synergy Level2/Level1) - For both geometries
37 Summary SOIR instrument onboard Venus Express (2006-): - High resolution - Self-calibrated technique - SO geometry < SNR < 3000 Provides vertical information on a broad series of species Contributes to a better understanding of the dynamics of the atmosphere at the terminator NOMAD instrument onboard Trace Gas Orbiter (2016-): - High resolution - UV-Visible and IR measurements - Nadir, limb and SO geometries - SNR ~ 1000 in nadir and SNR ~ 4000 in SO May provide vertical profiles on a broad series of species May map the surface and enable climatology developments
