Characterization of Atmospheric Waves at the Upper Clouds in the Polar Region of Venus

Non solar-fixed waves at the cloud tops of the southern polar region of Venus are studied in the winds measured with 3.9 and 5.0 μm images taken by the instrument VIRTIS-M onboard Venus Express. Wavenumbers 1, 2 and 3 are detected, with wave amplitudes ranging from 3.6 to 8.0 m/s. The evolution of t...
