Scientific paper

Polarization measurements by the orbiter cloud photopolarimeter indicate the presence of a planet-wide layer of submicrometer aerosols of substantial visible optical thickness, of the order of 0.05 to 0.01, in the lower stratosphere well above the main visible sulfuric acid cloud layer. Cloud pattern characteristics found by Mariner 10 and by Pioneer are compared. Planetary scale markings, polar region clouds, and cellular features are considered.
