Modeling the Venus atmospheric circulation and climate

该项目将扩展现有的金星大气环流和气候数值模式，以纳入更精确的辐射传输、云和地表特性，从而获得一系列金星大气环流的模式模拟。这些模拟将与ESA金星快车和JAXA赤月任务的现有观测结果进行详细比较，以调查云水平和深层大气环流的现象。这些结果也可以与使用大气环流简化模式的模拟结果进行比较，以研究可能存在于观测结果之下的动力机制。该项目建议使用与埃克塞特大学合作开发的ISCA系统为基础的一套新的模型代码。

This project will extend an existing atmospheric circulation and climate numerical model of the Venus atmosphere to incorporate more accurate radiative transfer, clouds and surface properties to obtain a range of model simulations of the Venus atmospheric circulation. These simulations will be compared in detail with available observations from the ESA Venus Express and JAXA Akatsuki missions to investigate phenomena in both the cloud level and deep atmospheric circulation. These results may also be compared with simulations using simplified models of atmospheric circulation to investigate possible dynamical mechanisms that may underly what is observed. The project proposes to use a new suite of model codes based on the ISCA system being developed in collaboration with the University of Exeter.
