VAMOS aims to deepen our understanding of Venus’ atmosphere and prepare for the upcoming EnVision mission, which was recently selected as ESA’s next mission to Venus.
With VAMOS, we will re-investigate old data series with new and improved methods, applying best practices and strategies to combine and integrate data on the atmosphere of Venus acquired from different sources, and general circulation models, in order to study patterns, trends, and climatologies.
An important aspect of this project is to make sure that the data and their interpretation are rendered accessible to the scientific community, but also valorised and explained to the wider general public, schools and universities.
Objectives of VAMOS:
- to develop best practices to combine data from planetary atmospheres, with a clear focus on Venus
- to educate the public on the Nature of Science (social endeavour with values (e.g., openness), customs (e.g., peer-reviewing), processes, etc
