The dynamics of the Venusian mesosphere and thermosphere

We present the first circulation model of Venus' atmosphere to couple the super-rotating cloud tops and upper thermosphere. To drive these simulations, we formulate the first continuous semi-empirical model of atmospheric structure between 60-250 km. Our model hydrostatically links the VIRA and...
