Dr. Yelle's research focuses on the physics and chemistry of the
atmospheres of planets, satellites, and comets. His work spans the
range from detailed data analysis of to theoretical models. Data
analysis projects are usually connected to observations from NASA
planetary missions or spacebased observatories. Theoretical
investigations concern calculation of the thermal structure,
photochemical calculations, spectral synthesis, and most recently, 3D
general circulation models for upper atmospheres. Objects of current
interests include the thermal structure of the upper atmospheres of
Jovian planets, general circulation models for Titan's upper
atmosphere, spectra and thermal structure of very cool brown dwarfs,
analysis of DS1 images of comet p/Borrelly, and analysis of HST UV
spectra of the Jovian planets.
