We present results of a simple two-dimensional model investigating the observable effects
that convective motions and gravity waves can have on the condensational Venus cloud.
Gravity waves have been observed in the Venus atmosphere in the form of temperature
scintillations in the Magellan and Pioneer Venus occultation data. Multiple in situ probes and
long-duration remote observations indicate the presence of convective motions in the Venus
clouds. Dynamical studies by others have suggested that gravity waves can exist in the …
