Abstract
Observations of the state of Venus’ mesosphere from spacecraft have not yet revealed transient luminous events similar to those observed in the Earth’s atmosphere. In this work, the possibility of such phenomena is proved in laboratory conditions. For this purpose, an experiment has been carried out on the formation of apokamps in carbon dioxide at different pressure values. The obtained data experimentally confirm the hypothesis that conditions at altitudes corresponding to the cloud tops in the atmosphere of Venus are favorable for generating analogues of transients of the Earth’s mesosphere. Based on this, recommendations have been developed for the design of systems for detecting such phenomena from orbiting satellites or balloons.
期刊介绍：
Atmospheric and Oceanic Optics is an international peer reviewed journal that presents experimental and theoretical articles relevant to a wide range of problems of atmospheric and oceanic optics, ecology, and climate. The journal coverage includes: scattering and transfer of optical waves, spectroscopy of atmospheric gases, turbulent and nonlinear optical phenomena, adaptive optics, remote (ground-based, airborne, and spaceborne) sensing of the atmosphere and the surface, methods for solving of inverse problems, new equipment for optical investigations, development of computer programs and databases for optical studies. Thematic issues are devoted to the studies of atmospheric ozone, adaptive, nonlinear, and coherent optics, regional climate and environmental monitoring, and other subjects.
