Fig. 3From: Akatsuki LIR observing system simulation experiments evaluated by thermal tides in the Venus atmosphereVertical distributions of temperature (K) deviations associated with the thermal tides at the equator. 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). Amplitudes are multiplied by a factor of \(100\sqrt{\upsigma }\) for visibility, where \(\sigma\) is a scaled pressure level in the sigma coordinate systemBack to article page
