Venus atmospheric profiles - From SPICAV-SOIR on board VEx version w24.00

Vertical profiles of density of species in the upper atmosphere of Venus at the terminator. Data retrieved from calibrated spectra obtained with the SPICAV-SOIR instrument on board the Venus Express spacecraft. This dataset also contains upper limits of other species as well as pressure and temperature.

The retrieval method and the derived data is presented and analysed in several papers. See:
