About 44 percent of the surface of Venus has been searched in a reconnaissance mode for wind-related features using primarily cycle 1 Magellan radar data. The aeolian features, including possible dune fields, yardangs, and various types of wind streaks, are described, and the geological settings and properties of the surfaces in which they occur are assessed. Attention is also given to possible modes of formation of the most common aeolian features (wind streaks), with reference made to terrestrial examples. The relationships between aeolian features and atmospheric circulation patterns on Venus are considered.
