Introduction to Venus Climate Database

What is/are Venus Climate?

Venus Climate - With funding from ESA in the context of the preparation of the possible upcoming EnVision mission, we have, in the footsteps of what has been done for Mars with the Mars Climate Database (), built a Venus Climate Database (VCD) based on GCM outputs. ^[1] <p><strong></strong></p> <p lang="en-US" align="justify">The Venus Climate Database (VCD) is based on the outputs of our state-of-the-art Venus Global Climate Model (GCM) [1-3]. ^[2] Here we conducted a time series analysis of the 365-nm brightness and cloud-tracking wind variations, obtained by the UV Imager onboard the Japanese Venus Climate Orbiter Akatsuki from June to October 2017, revealing a dramatic evolution of planetary-scale waves and corresponding changes in planetary-scale UV features. ^[3]
