Abstract
⺠We developed a new model for the venusian mesosphere and thermosphere. ⺠In the venusian thermosphere, the subsolar-to-antisolar flow is dominant. ⺠Below about 90 km, a weak return flow of the subsolar-to-antisolar flow is driven. ⺠Kelvin wave propagates up to around 130 km in the venusian upper atmosphere. ⺠Kelvin wave causes the temporal variation of the O2-1.27 μm nightglow emission.
