In previous publications the author considered how breaking buoyancy waves and the thermal source arising due to different absorption coefficients of solar and atmospheric radiation fluxes contributed to turbulence. In this study, the contribution to turbulence made by the dynamical source arising in consequence of convective instability of large-scale atmospheric motions is examined. Its value is estimated from experimental wind speed data for the atmosphere of Venus. The contributions of the indicated sources of turbulent energy are compared. The rate of dissipation of kinetic energy due to molecular viscosity is demonstrated to be several orders of magnitude less than the rate of dissipation necessary to maintain an invariable superrotation pattern. This is an additional argument for the permanent existence of turbulence in the atmosphere of Venus, which many authors consider doubtful. It is demonstrated why turbulence is present at the atmospheric stratification that seems to be stable.
