The puzzling Venusian polar atmospheric structure reproduced by a general circulation model

The puzzling Venusian polar atmospheric structure reproduced by a general circulation model

Unlike some planets, the Venusian polar vortex is warmer than the mid-latitudes at cloud-top level, but the mechanism behind this is unknown. Here, the authors use a general circulation model and suggest the cold collar and warm polar regions are due to residual mean meridional circulation intensifi...
