We describe how one ingests 3D topographic data from NASA’s Venus Magellan Spacecraft radar observations into the ROCKE-3D Planetary General Circulation Model. We also explain how boundary condition choices such as ocean/lake coverage/depth, rotation rate, atmospheric constituents, and other factors influence surface conditions in ROCKE-3D paleo-Venus simulations. Studies such as these should also be considered when examining liquid water habitability in similar exoplanet experiments.
