Scientific paper
Quantitative data on the properties of the planetary scale wave modes at the Venus cloud tops have been derived from eight years of Pioneer Venus UV images. At least four planetary-scale wave modes are established on this basis; it is suggested that all play an important role in the maintenance of the equatorial winds. The evidence obtained suggests that the equatorial dynamics of Venus is cyclic, with an apparent time-scale of 5-10 yr. The long-term evolution and maintenance of the Venus cloud-top superrotation reflects a complex balance among at least four eddy momentum transport equations.
