Venusian Gravity Wave Absolute Momentum Fluxes and Drag as Retrieved from the Akatsuki Mission
Abstract
This dataset archives retrieved absolute gravity wave momentum fluxes and absolute wave drag derived from Level 4 Akatsuki Radio Science temperature profiles of the Venusian atmosphere. The archived products include: Absolute gravity wave momentum flux as a function of altitude and vertical wavelength Absolute gravity wave drag as a function of altitude and vertical wavelength Total momentum flux profiles summed over all vertical wavelengths considered Total absolute wave drag profiles summed over all vertical wavelengths considered Intermediate quantities calculated and used in the retrieval
