Scientific paper

Physical and chemical analyses of the clouds and atmosphere of Venus on the basis of Vega payload data have yielded a cloud-particle composition in which the presence of phosphoric acid straightforwardly accounts for the fact that the clouds extend down to the 33-km limit of Vega's spectrometric, nephelometric, and photometric instrumentation. Attention is given to the problem posed by the inconsistency of these results with the much lower or entirely absent phosphorus at other Venera and Pioneer Venus landing probe sites. P4O6 is the main phosphorus-bearing gas.
