Dataset

Description

This collection contains outputs from two simulations of the Venus Planetary Climate Model, developed and maintained by the Laboratoire de Meteorologie Dynamique of the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace. The outputs include wind, temperature, pressure, and geopotential data, along with an 'age of air' cube which represents the time since a passive atmospheric tracer was last in a specified source region. In the 'Surface' dataset, the tracer source region is the planetary surface, while in the 'Cloud' dataset, the tracer source region is at 46 km, just below the lowest Venusian cloud deck. The 'Surface' dataset contains five Venus days of data, with 20 outputs per Venus day. The 'Cloud' dataset contains one Venus day of data, with 100 outputs per Venus day.
