Wind circulation regimes at Venus’ cloud tops: Ground-based Doppler velocimetry using CFHT/ESPaDOnS and comparison with simultaneous cloud tracking measurements using VEx/VIRTIS in February 2011

•First inter-comparison of ground-based Doppler winds and coordinated space-based cloud tracked winds at Venus’ cloud-top.•We characterised the latitudinal zonal wind profile and its variability in local time.•We observe zonal wind field velocities of v‾z=117.3±18.0ms-1 on February 19, and 117.5±14....
