Fig. 2From: Akatsuki LIR observing system simulation experiments evaluated by thermal tides in the Venus atmosphereHorizontal distributions of horizontal wind (vector, m s−1) and temperature deviations (color, K) associated with the thermal tides at the cloud top level (~ 70 km). The cases of a frf, b h1, c h6, d h1_ds, e h1_ns, and f h24 are shown. These distributions are calculated by the composite means over 30 Earth days at the sub-solar point (fixed at the center of each panel)Back to article page
