A linearized primitive equation model adapted to Venusian conditions was used to study thermal tidal anomalies in the Venus atmosphere exposed by Venus Orbiter IR sensors. The model received as input the IR data, mean zonal wind and solar input as functions of height and latitude, and the global mean static stability and Newtonian cooling and Rayleigh friction in relation to altitude. Basic state and forcing functions were defined for Venus, and the model generated brightness temperatures which could be compared with the IR data. The good correlations obtained suggest that the model accurately accounts for the low variation of phase with altitude and stronger semidiurnal oscillation features than diurnal oscillations. The model is concluded as a useful tool for assessing the role of thermal tides in maintaining Venus super rotation.
