[EV02-04] Chasing clouds, studying Venusian atmosphere and tropical cyclones

Takeshi Horinouchi¹ (1. Faculty of Environmental Earth Science, Hokkaido University)

We have been using the Venus orbiter “Akatsuki” and the geosynchronous satellites “Himawari” to estimate winds. By using the results, also by using theoretical considerations and numerical modelling, we have been studying the dynamics of the atmosphere of Venus and the Earth. I will talk about its background and what are elucidated on the superrotation of Venusian atmosphere and the variability of tropical cyclones’ inner cores, along with the future prospects.
