Scientific paper

An instability analysis is applied to determine the nature of the average angular momentum balance that should exist on Venus. The motion of tilted axisymmetric circulation cells is invoked to explain the distributions of atmospheric momentum. The centrifugal force of the stable flow is balanced by the meridional pressure gradient. Time variations in the angular momentum of the Venusian atmosphere are also discussed. Comparisions with phenomena in earth's atmosphere are made throughout.
