“…5a. Leblanc et al (2002Leblanc et al ( , 2005 also predicted a globally averaged sodium concentration at the surface equal to ~0.01, and suggested that the observed sodium was sputtered from ice and not directly from a mineral or a salt. Recent modeling has improved on this description of the variability and on the Na/K ratios (Cipriani et al, 2008(Cipriani et al, , 2009.…”

“…The principal components in Europa's atmosphere have been calculated using one-dimensional DSMC (Shematovich et al, 2005;Shematovich, 2006) or two-dimensional DSMC (Wong et al, 2001;Smyth and Marconi, 2006) simulations. The threedimensional structure of Europa's atmosphere and its time variability with respect to its position within Jupiter's magnetosphere have been described using a test particle simulation for sodium Leblanc et al, 2002;2005;Burger and Johnson, 2004;Cassidy et al, 2008). Ip (1996) also applied a test particle approach for O 2 in Europa's atmosphere.…”

“…[3] In the present study, we use a refined 3D model of Europa's exosphere initially developed by Leblanc et al [2002Leblanc et al [ , 2005 and recently improved by Cipriani et al [2008]. This model accounts for non-uniform sources of alkalis at Europa's surface and allows us to describe the relation between exospheric and surface densities of the ejected material.…”
