Three‐dimensional turbulence‐resolving modeling of the Venusian cloud layer and induced gravity waves

The impact of the cloud convective layer of the atmosphere of Venus on the global circulation remains unclear. The recent observations of gravity waves at the top of the cloud by the Venus Express mission provided some answers. These waves are not resolved at the scale of global circulation models (...
