Between December 1978 and February 1979 the Pioneer Venus orbiter spacecraft returned some 140 S band and X band radio occultation measurements of the Venus atmosphere. Results from 13 measurements, covering diverse latitudes from near equatorial to polar, are presented in this paper in the form of vertical profiles of temperature. The temperature profiles show a pronounced inversion at the tropopause for latitudes higher than about 50 deg, with the deepest inversions occurring between the latitudes of 60 deg and 70 deg, the latitudes at which the cold collar cloud feature was observed by the Pioneer Venus Vortex instrument. A comparison of the temperature profiles derived from radio occultation measurements with the stratospheric infrared temperature soundings of the Vortex instrument and the in situ measurements of tropospheric temperature and pressure by the North, Sounder, and Day probes indicates excellent agreement.
