Planetary-scale streak structure reproduced in high-resolution simulations of the Venus atmosphere with a low-stability layer

A planetary-scale streak structure in the Venusian lower-cloud layer was observed by the Akatsuki orbiter. Here the authors present numerical simulations that reproduce such structure and reveal that a low-stability layer, which induces baroclinic disturbances, is essential for its formation.
