Scientific paper

Pioneer Venus in situ measurements of thermal plasma quantities were obtained by a retarding potential analyzer. Evidence for significant solar wind heating of the ionosphere and indications that the ionosphere is close to diffusive equilibrium are reported. Information on ionopause height, the ionospheric particle pressures at the ionopause, and the measured ratio of ionospheric scale height to ionopause ratio is presented.
