Abstract: The amplification and attenuation of small-scale acoustic-gravity waves in Venus's atmosphere is studied with a plane-wave model that realistically simulates height variations in structure and zonal circulation. Forcing ...

Abstract: A linearized planetary scale wave model is used to investigate the effects of thermal and mechanical damping on atmospheric tides. When the damping rate ? is comparable to the frequency of solar diurnal forcing &Omega ...

Abstract: This paper extends the study of stationary gravity waves generated near the surface of Venus reported previously by Young et al. to include finite amplitude effects associated with large amplitude waves. Waves are forced ...

Abstract: Data from the 1985 VEGA Venus Balloon Mission indicate that the mountainous region known as Aphrodite influences atmospheric motions at balloon float altitudes near 54 km, an altitude located within the middle cloud region. ...

Abstract: AbstractThe prediction of tropical cyclone rapid intensification is one of the most pressing unsolved problems in hurricane forecasting. The signatures of gravity waves launched by strong convective updrafts are often ...
