Scientific paper

Infrared polarization of Venus was measured as several phase angles during 1977, 1978, and 1979. Observations revealed a significant degree of polarization at wavelengths of both 3.6 and 4.8 microns in contrast with little or no polarization in wavelengths shorter than 3 microns. Although the sulfuric acid cloud model seems a likely explanation of these measurements, a small discrepancy was found between these results and the calculations by Mukai and Mukai (1979).
