Scientific paper

An accurate radiative transfer model for line-by-line gaseous absorption, as well as for cloud absorption and multiple scattering, is used in the present calculation of solar heating and thermal cooling rates for standard temperature profiles and temperatures yielded by the Venera 15 Fourier Spectrometer Experiment. A strong dependency is noted for heating and cooling rates on cloud-structure variations. The Venus mesosphere is characterized by main cloud-cover heating and overlying-haze cooling. These results are applicable to Venus atmosphere dynamical models.
