★Invited Papers
Keywords:Venus atmosphere, Super rotation, General circulation model, Data assimilation, Atmospheric gravity wave
We have developed the Venusian general circulation model (GCM), AFES-Venus (Atmospheric GCM for the Earth Simulator for Venus) [1, 2] and the data assimilation system based on the Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (LETKF), ALEDAS-V (AFES-LETKF data assimilation system for Venus) [3]. Here, we will introduce important recent results of AFES-Venus and ALEDAS-V.
AFES-Venus reproduced the cold collar in the polar region [4], the planetary-scale streak structure observed by Akatsuki infrared (IR2) camera [5], a fully developed super-rotation [6], and spontaneous gravity waves radiated from the thermal tides [7]. Recently, by improving the profiles of static stability and solar heating, the thermal tides [8] and the planetary-scale short periods (Kelvin and Rossby) waves [9] consistent with observations are reproduced. We also checked how the super-rotation depends on the magnitude of horizontal hyper diffusion with medium and high resolutions [10].
ALEDAS-V improved the horizontal structures of thermal tides with the data assimilation of horizontal winds derived by cloud tracking of ultra-violet images from Venus Express [11] and Akatsuki [12]. Although the observed horizontal winds are limited to low latitudes on the day side, the zonal-mean zonal winds and temperature are also modified globally [12]. We have also conducted observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) assuming Akatsuki Longwave Infrared Camera (LIR) observations [13].
