Hydroxide Salts in the Clouds of Venus: Their Effect on the Sulfur Cycle and Cloud Droplet pH

The depletion of SO _2 and H _2 O in and above the clouds of Venus (45–65 km) cannot be explained by known gas-phase chemistry and the observed composition of the atmosphere. We apply a full-atmosphere model of Venus to investigate three potential explanations for the SO _2 and H _2 O depletion: (1)...
