Scientific paper

Two-dimensional, nonlinear, fully compressible numerical simulations of convectively-generated internal gravity waves in the lower atmosphere of Venus are presented. The vertical domain extends from 12 to 60 km altitude, thereby including two convection regions from 18 to 30 km altitude and 48 to 55 km altitude. Our simulations suggest that internal gravity waves in the stable layer from 30 to 48 km altitude are primarily generated by cloud-level convection. Characteristics of internal gravity waves in the stable layer between the two convection regions are examined, including wave periods, horizontal and vertical wavelengths, and phase speeds. Our results are compared with Pioneer Venus and Magellan observations of internal gravity waves in the lower atmosphere.
