Abstract: | It is shown in the paper that the mechanism of superrotation of the atmosphere of Venus consists of several interrelated processes,
including the transport of angular momentum from the solid planet to the atmosphere at a wind flow over the planet’s surface
relief, the upward transport of momentum by threedimensional turbulent vortices, the inverse energy cascade in a large-scale
quasi-two-dimensional flow, and the horizontal transfer of angular momentum in the Hadley cell. These processes make different
contributions to the superrotation at different altitudes. |
