Limb Darkening study using Venus nightside infrared spectra from VIRTIS-Venus Express data

► Limb Darkening on Venus at different wavelengths, latitudes, opacities/temperatures. ► Statistical approach for the Limb Darkening correction. ► Mode3/Mode2 ratio slightly increases poleward of −50°. ► Mode3/Mode2 ratio poleward of −60° is twice the equatorial ratio. ► Cloud scale height retrieval from Limb Darkening curves at different latitudes.
