Scientific paper

An analysis of the limb darkening component obtained by Ingersoll and Orton (1974) from the thermal infrared maps of Venus published by Murray, Wildey, and Westphal (1963) and Westphal, Wildey, and Murray (1965) shows that the Cytherean cloud tops were close to radiative equilibrium in 1962. A method for obtaining the optical depth, the extinction coefficient, and the extinction scale height from such data is derived and values are extracted from Marov's (1972) standard model of the Venus atmosphere.
