Scientific paper

Previous reports of lightning and its spatial association with mountains of possible volcanic origin on Venus have been based on interpretation of low-frequency 100 Hz electric field noise observed from the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO). These speculations have been repeatedly challenged and rejections of the 100 Hz noise interpretation are reviewed. Russell (1991) states that active volcanoes are not the source of the Venus lightning. Recent data from broad band noise at frequencies greater than 100 Hz have been introduced as evidence for lightning. These additional claims and opposing evidence are presented. On the basis of evidence reviewed, it is submitted that the PVO related interpretations of the presence of lightning and by association, current volcanic eruptions, have not been adequately supported.
