Abstract Venus’ atmosphere has been studied for years, yet the mechanism behind atmospheric super-rotation remains unclear. Waves, potential contributors to this phenomenon, are frequently observed in the clouds but require further quantitative analysis. This study uses basic image processing on data from Akatsuki’s UltraViolet Imager to identify and characterize waves near the diurnal cloud tops (∼70 km). These are preliminary findings of a broader ongoing investigation into cloud-top waves during the Akatsuki mission.
