Abstract
⺠We study the solar tides by their effect on the winds at the cloud tops of Venus. ⺠The dataset was obtained from VEX/VIRTIS images and a latitude range 70-85°S. ⺠Diurnal and quarter-diurnal tides are present in the wind field. ⺠The diurnal tide dominates with amplitudes of 4.7 m/s affecting the meridional wind. ⺠It also involves a solar-to-antisolar circulation and vertical wavelengths of â¼8 km.
