Information on Service 'VCD datalink service'

The Venus Climate Database (VCD)s a database of atmospheric statistics compiled from state-of-the art Global Climate Model (GCM) simulations of the Venusian atmosphere. The GCM computes in 3D the atmospheric circulation taking into account radiative transfer through the gaseous atmosphere, includes a representation of non-LTE processes, EUV heating, conduction and molecular diffusion in the thermosphere. Sub-grid processes such as convection in the boundary layer, non orographic and orographic gravity waves are also simulated. Photochemistry that controls the atmospheric composition is also implemented in the model which extends into the upper thermosphere. The model used to compile the statistics has been extensively validated using available observational data and aims at representing the current best knowledge of the state of the Venusian atmosphere given the observations and the physical laws which govern the atmospheric circulation and surface conditions on the planet.

Overview

You can access this service using:

dlget -- a datalink interface letting specialized clients retrieve parts of datasets or discover related data. You use this kind of service exclusively in combination with a pubdid, usually via a direct link.
dlmeta -- a datalink interface for discovering access options (processed data, related datasets...) for a dataset. You usually need a publisherDID to use this kind of service. For special applications, the base URL of this service might still come handy: http://vo.lmd.jussieu.fr/vcd/q/dl/dlmeta

This service is not published. This can mean that it was deemed too unimportant, for internal use only, or is just a helper for a published service. Equally likely, however, it is under development, abandoned in development or otherwise unfinished. Exercise caution.

Input Fields

The following fields are available to provide input to the service (with some renderers, some of these fields may be unavailable):

Name	Table Head	Description	Unit	UCD
ID	Id	The pubisher DID of the dataset of interest	N/A	meta.id;meta.main
maxrec	Match limit	Maximum number of records returned. Pass 0 to retrieve service parameters.	N/A	N/A
responseformat	Output Format	File format requested for output.	N/A	meta.code.mime
verb	Verbosity	Exhaustiveness of column selection. VERB=1 only returns the most important columns, VERB=2 selects the columns deemed useful to the average user, VERB=3 returns a table with all available columns.	N/A	N/A
