Scientific paper

Results are presented on the analysis of the Pioneer Venus Orbiter Cloud Photopolarimeter (OCPP) UV images, covering 80-day periods from 1979 to 1985. The analysis provides a method for determining wind speeds at the cloud level, from the motions of cloud UV features. Data used for tracking the cloud feature motions are described along with the analysis method. The results identified four wave modes: a diurnal solar tide, a semidiurnal solar tide, a '4-day equatorial' wave, and a '5-day midlatitude' wave. The features of these wave modes are described.
