| Description | Spectral line profiles, curves of growth, and curves for the equivalent width of a line as a function of Venus phase angle are computed for a Rayleigh scattering cloud and compared with those for a cloud of isotropic scatterers. The results are similar for the two kinds of scattering, with the exception for the curves of equivalent width as a function of Venus phase angle. These latter curves exhibit the inverse phase effect and rule out the possibility that the scale height of the clouds can be much less than half the scale height of the gas. |
