Thermal structure of Venus nightside upper atmosphere measured by stellar occultations with SPICAV/Venus Express

The thermal structure of Venus upper atmosphere (90–140km) was investigated using stellar occultation measurements acquired by the SPICAV experiment on board Venus Express. The SPICAV ultraviolet channel provides CO2 local density and temperature vertical profiles with a vertical resolution of
