Scientific paper

The eddy source pattern required to maintain zonally averaged circulation in the solar heating and zonal wind profiles of the Venus atmosphere below 80 km has been calculated. The calculated residual meridional circulation in the cloud top region corresponds to multiple direct and indirect cells in the vertical, whose depths are controlled by the scales of solar heating and eddy sources. In the presence of mean meridional transports, the observed zonal superrotation can be supported by alternating layers of eddy sources and sinks, which may be due to thermal tides.
