The NCAR terrestrial Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) atmospheric model has been converted into a global, planetary model. The model is fully compressible, has Coriolis and curvature treatment and has hydrostratic and non-hydrostatic options.
The model has been converted for use on Venus, initally using the linearized forcing and dissipation parameterizations of recent Venus GCMs (Lee et al.(2005), Yamamoto and Takahashi (2003)). Preliminary analysis of the momentum transports, atmospheric circulation, and super-rotation diagnostics from this model will be presented.
The next stage of the study will be to use more realistic thermal forcing data derived from radiative models, and to adapt a radiative transfer model for the Venus atmosphere in order to provide more realistic heating rates and allow radiative feedback processes to be included in the GCM.
