Fully Developed Superrotation Driven by the Mean Meridional Circulation in a Venus GCM

Abstract Fully developed superrotation is reproduced for the first time in very long term simulations with a dynamical Venus general circulation model (GCM) driven by a zonally averaged component of the realistic solar heating only. Starting from a motionless state with temperature distribution incl...
