Scientific paper

A model exhibiting the role of the radiative dynamical feedback in the maintenance of the middle and lower clouds of Venus was previously developed and demonstrated by McGouldrick and Toon [1]. That work incorporated a microphysical model of the Venus lower and middle clouds similar to that of James et al. [2], but also included radiative transfer in both the visible and infrared to compute a time-dependent vertical temperature profile. As the radiative heating altered the static stability of the vertical profile, a parameterization of the eddy diffusion coefficient, based on the Richardson Number, was used to incorporate the effects of vertical transport due to convection. This paper represents the initial results of follow-up work to that project, in which the model previously used by McGouldrick and Toon is extended to include the physics of the region of the upper clouds and hazes of the Venus atmosphere (i.e., altitudes between 60km and 100km).
