Scientific paper

The behavior of the ionospheric peak on the dayside of Venus is described and interpreted by combining radio occultation measurements with theoretical calculations. The theoretical models are shown to be able to reproduce the measured electron densities very accurately when careful consideration is given to such parameters as the level of solar activity, the electron temperature, and the neutral density. What is more, the models are able to provide a check on the accuracy of neutral atmospheric models in the vicinity of 140 km. Chemical equilibrium is assumed for the calculation of ion and electron densities. A table giving Pioneer Venus radio occultation measurements of the Venus dayside ionosphere is included.
