Scientific paper

Earlier Soviet findings on Venusian wind patterns based on Venera spacecraft data are reaffirmed. Wind-velocity determinations based on measurements of Doppler shifts taken during the descent of Venera 9 and Venera 10, and cup anemometer measurements of wind velocity in situ at the surface are invoked in support. The descent module oscillator frequency stability, calibration procedures in flight, and various plausible sources of error are surveyed. The correctness of earlier interpretations of Doppler wind velocity measurements from Venera 7 and Venera 8 is reaffirmed.
