Scientific paper

Temperature and pressure data for the southern hemisphere of Venus that were obtained by the radio transillumination method with the aid of the Venera-15 and -16 satellites are employed to determine the vertical profiles of the zonal wind velocity at altitudes of 50 to 80 km. Altitude and latitude dependences of the zonal wind velocity in the southern-latitude interval of 66 to 83 deg are presented. A jet is discovered in the circumpolar atmosphere of the southern hemisphere at latitudes of 70-72 deg; in it the wind achieves a maximum velocity of 115 m/s at an altitude of 62 km.
