Scientific paper

The authors present altitude profiles of the median densities of the major ions measured in the central Venus nightside ionosphere and compare the profiles with profiles predicted by numerical models. The profiles include total ion density Ni, [O+], [O2++M29+], and [H+]. The density [O2++M29+] respresents the sum density of molecular ions with mass in the range 28 - 32 amu. The measurements were made by the Pioneer Venus orbiter retarding potential analyzer within the height interval 140 km to 900 km, within the solar zenith angle interval 120° - 180° for all quantities except H+ and during a time interval around solar cycle maximum.
