On The Possible Evolutionary History Of The Water Ocean On Venus
We have investigated the possible evolutional history of the water ocean on Venus, adopting the one dimensional radiative-convective model, including the parameters as albedo and relative humidity. Under this model, […]

Revisiting The Cosmic-ray Induced Venusian Radiation Dose In The Context Of Habitability
The Atmospheric Radiation Interaction Simulator (AtRIS) was used to model the altitude-dependent Venusian absorbed dose and the Venusian dose equivalent. For the first time, we modeled the dose rates for […]
