Scientific paper

The near-IR spectra of the Venus nightside emission are here simulated by means of a radiative transfer code that allows for emission, absorption, and scattering by atmospheric gases and particles. An effort is made to assess the adequacy of current gas data bases in simulating Venus' nightside near-IR spectra and, within these limitations, to derive information on gas abundances below the main clouds and these clouds' optical thickness. It is in this way established that the HITRAN data base for the permitted transitions of CO2 is completely inadequate for simulating the Venus nightside near-IR emissions.
