Scientific paper

The altitude variation of the zonal wind velocity in the Venus atmosphere above the cloud layer is deduced from the structure of the wavenumber 2 solar tide. Results show that the amplitude of the zonal wind increases with respect to altitude near the equator, but decreases for latitudes greater than 30°. Thus, the zonal wind becomes concentrated at lower latitudes by 100 km altitude.
