“…Ground‐based studies of Venus have also taken place [ Barker , ; Sandor et al , ; Travis , , and references therein]. Many features of the Venusian atmosphere have been studied, such as the atmospheric distribution of SO and SO 2 and the interannual variation in their concentration, the sulfuric acid cycle, and carbonyl sulfide (OCS) chemistry [ Esposito et al , ; Seiff et al , ; Belyaev et al , ; Sandor et al , ; Esposito , ; Esposito et al , ; Marcq et al , ; Encrenaz et al , ; Marcq et al , ; Encrenaz et al , ; Jessup et al , ; Zhang et al , ; Palmer and Williams , ; Yung et al , ; Krasnopolsky , ; Arney et al , ; Marcq et al , , , ]. Extensive modeling of the atmospheric chemistry on Venus has also been done [ Krasnopolsky , ; Zhang et al , ].…”
