Shear-flow stability within the atmosphere of Venus
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 March 2006
Abstract
Employing a linear stability analysis, Dudis (1973) has recently suggested that shear-flow instability might exist within the upper stratosphere of Venus owing to destabilization by radiative transfer. We have incorporated a more realistic formulation for radiative transfer into his stability analysis and conclude that such an instability is unlikely.
