Scientific paper

Atmospheric waves are present in the Venus atmosphere over a wide range of spatial scales and may well play a significant role in the energy budget of the planet. The Venus Express Radio-Science Experiment VeRa retrieves atmospheric profiles between 40 and 90 km altitude which show a high variability resulting from atmospheric waves and turbulence. Small-scale temperature fluctuations originating from internal gravity waves with vertical wavelengths of only a few kilometers are detectable in the VeRa profiles in the Venus mesosphere and troposphere.
