Scientific paper

It is suggested that the Ingersoll and Dobrovolskis calculation of the atmospheric tide on Venus is invalid because their assumption of a quasi-static atmosphere is not justified. Pertinent data and reasons which indicate wind speeds high enough to cause convection are examined, and it is concluded that the dynamical effects of convection will give the Venus atmosphere asymmetries in its mass distribution with respect to the sun that are fully expected to provide an adequate couple for the earth-resonance theory. The conclusion is considered with reference to the earth-synchronous rotation of Venus.
