A Systems Approach to Venus Climate Modeling

We propose to develop a unique approach to an understanding of the various factors that have shaped Venus’ climate. We plan to numerically simulate the planetary climate system by developing a set of interconnected modules, each representing one component of Venus’ climate. The first modules that we will develop are numerical models for atmospheric radiative transfer, surface/atmosphere interac...
