説明

Superrotation of more than 100 m s−1 is formed at 60 km in a Venus-like general circulation model (Venus-like GCM) driven by a three-dimensional (3D) heating with a 117-day period. Meridional circulation efficiently pumps up angular momentum from the surface to the cloud-top level (65-70km) as expected from the Gierasch mechanism. Thermally-forced or enhanced waves with zonal wavenumbers of 1 and 2 produce equatorward eddy momentum fluxes, being possible candidates for the equatorward momentum flux caused by large horizontal diffusion in the Gierasch mechanism.
