Yea actually, prior to reading this article I always thought of the atmosphere as a mostly static shell that just sorta floats around planets - it's interesting to consider how, when the wind pushes on a mountain the mountain pushes back (not literally of course) and that can cause subtle variations in day cycle on earth that could be influenced by spikes in externally acquired heat in differing parts of the atmosphere - but it's crazy to think how much more dramatic the effect is on Venus.
