From: Evaluation of a method to retrieve temperature and wind velocity profiles of the Venusian nightside mesosphere from mid-infrared CO2 absorption line observed by heterodyne spectroscopy

Fig. 17

Retrieved temperature profiles at a 33SLT3 and b 67NLT0. Blue cross lines show the retrieved results with their errors (horizontal) and vertical resolutions (vertical), shown in Fig. 16. Green lines show the values in Fig. 7 of Stangier et al. (2015). Red line shows the VeRa results a at 33.8° S and LT 03:49 on 20 May 2012 (Stangier, 2015) and b at 71° N and solar zenith angle of ~ 100° (Pätzold et al. 2007), derived with three different upper boundary temperature conditions of 170, 200, and 230 K
