| Zusammenfassung |
| The variational method with constraints recently developed by
Verkley and Gerkema to describe maximum-entropy atmospheric profiles
is generalized to ideal gases
but with temperature-dependent specific heats. In so doing, an extended
and non standard potential
temperature is introduced that is well suited for tackling the problem
under consideration. This new formalism is successfully
applied to the atmosphere of Venus. Three well defined regions emerge in this
atmosphere up to a height of 100 km from the surface: the lowest one up to
about 35 km is adiabatic, a transition layer located at the height of the
cloud deck and finally a third region which is practically isothermal. |
