Parameter space for possible solutions
Blue shaded area shows parameter space where model predicts SO2
mixing ratios between 0.01 and 1 ppm at 100 km
Golden line = max values of SO2 (67 ppb) from microwave measurements of Sandor et al (2010)

SO2 Boundary Condition Sensitivity Study: SOx
No change in SO2 above 80 km due to pulse in lower
atmosphere Vulcanism not the source of SO2 above this point

SO2 Boundary Condition Sensitivity Study: Halogens

Conclusions• SO2, SO, and halogen species are most sensitive to change in
eddy mixing.• Least amount of change to SOx and ClOx from temperature
changes. • Effects on sulphur compounds seems more evident/pronounced
for lower boundary value changes in SO2 mixing ratio below ~80 km, and little effect above ~80 km vulcanism not the source!!!
• Effects on ClOx compounds seems more evident/pronounced for lower boundary value changes in SO2 mixing ratio at the below ~90 km, and little effect above ~90 km, with no change in HCl profile.

• Preliminary modeling suggests lower HCl abundances result in greater abundances of SO2, SO, and SO3 generally lower O2 abundances, and greater ClO abundances.
• We will use some of this 1-D chemistry and resulting tracer species profiles in the Venus Thermospheric General Circulation Model (VTGCM) (Bougher et al, 1997) for further comparison to VEx datasets.
