Scientific paper

Significant ion and electron flux enhancements immediately upstream of
the Venus bow shock were observed by the Electron Temperature Probe on
the Pioneer Venus Orbiter. It is shown that mass loading of the solar
wind by oxygen ions accounts for only about 10 percent of the observed
effect.
