Scientific paper

Results are reported from 13-cm radio-occultation absorptivity measurements of H2SO4 in the northern-hemisphere atmosphere of Venus, obtained by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter on 23 orbits during late 1986 and early 1987. The theoretical basis of the occultation measurements is explained; the error-analysis procedures are outlined; and the data are presented in tables and graphs. The abundance and distribution of gaseous H2SO4 in the equatorial zone (11-25 deg N) are found to be significantly different from those at latitudes above 36 deg N, and evidence for a reduction in H2SO4 abundance since the 1979 measurements is detected.
