Dataset: Planetary-scale waves seen in thermal infrared images of Venusian cloud top

The data archive contains data used in the paper "Planetary-Scale Waves Seen in Thermal Infrared Images of Venusian Cloud Top" by Kajiwara et al.

The contents of the directories are as follows.

"data_used_in_figures" : The table data used in the figures are given in Excel and CSV. The table format is described in the data files. An image in NetCDF format is also included.

"time_series_of_brightness_temperature_gradient" : The files contain the time series of the longitudinal gradient of Venusian cloud's brightness temperature measured by LIR onboard JAXA's Venus orbiter Akatsuki. The data were derived and analyzed in the paper "Planetary-Scale Waves Seen in Thermal Infrared Images of Venusian Cloud Top" by Kajiwara et al. The filename represents the latitude for each time series (For example, "10N" means 10 degrees north, and "EQ" means the equator). In all files, the first column gives the approximate elapsed time in days from 18 May 2017: the exact dates are given in the paper (Table S1 in the Supporting Information). The second column gives the longitudinal gradient of the brightness temperature in unit of K/degree.
