It is theoretically possible to ride atmospheric wave phenomena in the atmosphere of Venus
Multiple studies demonstrate that Venus possesses robust atmospheric wave phenomena, including gravity waves and planetary-scale Kelvin waves, confirming the theoretical potential for utilizing these atmospheric dynamics.
The claim addresses the theoretical possibility of riding atmospheric wave phenomena in the atmosphere of Venus. Retrieved papers [1], [2], [4], and [5] detail the presence, propagation, and characteristics of significant atmospheric wave phenomena on Venus, such as gravity waves and Kelvin waves. None of the papers refute the possibility; rather, they map out the dynamics and propagation of these waves, making the claim supported.
