Abstract

Venus upper atmospheric H2SO4 clouds are formed from SO2 gas via the sulfur-oxidation cycle, beginning with SO2 photolysis; followed by the formation of SO3 via photochemical SO2 oxidation, which then reacts with H2O forming H2SO4. Thus, photochemical processing of SO2 is intimately linked to the global-scale cloud and haze layers, which are composed primarily of concentrated sulfuric acid.
