Supersonic meteorology of Io: Sublimation-driven flow of SO2
TLDR
In this article, the horizontal flow of SO 2 gas from day side to night side of Io is calculated, and the surface is assumed to be covered by a frost whose vapor pressure at the subsolar point is orders of magnitude larger than that on the night side.About:

Sublimation of ices of astrophysical interest: A bibliographic review
TL;DR: In this paper, the vapour pressure of 53 different species in their pure solid phases is reviewed and a number of sublimation relations, either empirical or theoretical, valid over a large range of temperatures, representative of astrophysical environments are proposed.

Io on the eve of the galileo mission
TL;DR: Io, the innermost of Jupiter's large moons, is one of the most unusual objects in the Solar System as discussed by the authors, which produces a global heat flux 40 times the terrestrial value, producing intense volcanic activity and a global resurfacing rate averaging perhaps 1 cm yr−1.

Comparative Climatology of Terrestrial Planets
TL;DR: The Comparative Climatology of Terrestrial Planets (CCP) as discussed by the authors is a collection of more than sixty leading experts in the field that sets forth the foundations for this emerging new science and brings the reader to the forefront of our current understanding of atmospheric formation and climate evolution.

TL;DR: McEwen et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed a collection of hyperspectral images of Io acquired by the near infrared mapping spectrometer (NIMS) of Galileo during the G2 to E16 orbits of Jupiter.

Boundary layer theory
TL;DR: The flow laws of the actual flows at high Reynolds numbers differ considerably from those of the laminar flows treated in the preceding part, denoted as turbulence as discussed by the authors, and the actual flow is very different from that of the Poiseuille flow.
