The Venus Climate Database (VCD) is based on the outputs of our state-of-the-art Venus Global Climate Model (GCM) [1-3]. This tool, in the footsteps and spirit of its Martian equivalent, the Mars Climate Database (MCD) [4], is intended to be useful for engineers and scientists wanting to compare with their models, analyze observations or plan future missions. This project is funded by the European Space Agency, in the frame of preliminary studies for the EnVision mission to Venus.
