Comparison and Analysis of the Venus Global Reference Atmospheric Model

The goal of this research was to analyze the Venus Global Reference Atmospheric Model (Venus-GRAM) and determine how accurately the model is following its primary source data from the Venus International Reference Atmosphere (VIRA). A comparative analysis between Venus-GRAM and the Venus Climate Database (VCD) was also conducted. The VCD is an atmospheric model developed by the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (LMD) for both scientific and engineering purposes. The purpose of this work is to ensure the most up-to-date data is being used to prepare for future probe and aerocapture missions.
