Mountain waves in the upper atmosphere of Venus

This dataset contains the GCM reduced variables of the outputs of the Venus PCM for the manuscript "Mountain waves in the upper atmosphere of Venus". It consists of NetCDF files showed in the following figures:

Figure 1. Zonal wind and wave amplitude above the Beta Regio area [100◦W-40◦W ; 30◦S-30◦N] for three local times.

Figure 2. Maps of downwards vertical wind speed (cm/s) above Beta Regio from the cloud top (70 km) to the thermosphere (135 km) for three local times. Positive (negative) values are downwards (upwards).

Figure 3. Westward zonal wind (averaged for latitudes 40◦S-40◦N for data accumulated over one solar day) as a function of local time for altitudes 100 and 135 km. Continuous lines are averaged for one solar day, whereas the dashed line is averaged only for local times 16h-18h above Beta Regio (longitude 78◦ W). 

Figure 4. Vertical wind speed for local times 14h-16h and all latitudes, in m/s above the cloud top.
