Scientific paper

The roughness parameters (C and gamma) of two regions of the Venus surface were determined from Venera-10 bistatic-radar data. In these regions, the mean-square angles of the inclinations of random irregularities of the surface were found to vary in the range 0.5-1.1 deg. An analysis of reflected signals reveals spectra with an appreciable coherent component. For the region with 217.7-219.4 deg longitude and -25.3 to -24.8 deg latitude, fluctuations of terrain height are determined which are associated with the effect of random irregularities, varying in the range 20-30 cm over horizontal distances of 30-300 m.
