The transfer equation of 4.3 and 15 micron photons corresponding to carbon dioxide vibrational transitions has been solved in the Venusian upper atmosphere. The numerical method was the 'diffusion approximation' which was adequate and precise enough for altitudes below about 140 km. The continuity equations of the excited levels were simultaneously solved. Calculations about intensities, anistropy, and cooling produced by the divergence of the vertical fluxes were carried out for a model atmosphere based on Pioneer Venus measurements.
