Rapid advances in our understanding of planetary atmospheres have occurred since the previous quadrennial review (Beebe, 1983), based to a large extent on analyses of planetary spacecraft data from earlier periods. The VEGA mission at Venus and Voyager 2 at Uranus provided new data, as did an active program of remote sensing from Earth and its vicinity. A number of valuable books and review articles appeared focusing on the origin and evolution of atmospheres as well as their present states (e.g., Lewis and Prinn, 1984; Hunt, 1983; Pollack and Consolmagno, 1984). Clearly, research on atmospheres in the solar system is no longer just exploratory; it has reached the stage of in‐depth study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
