Scientific paper

Linear polarization measurements made by the Pioneer Venus orbiter cloud photopolarimeter determined that the low and midlatitude visible clouds mainly contain small H2SO4 droplets with an extensive haze of submicron particles above the cloud group. The polarization of the bright areas poleward of the 55 deg latitude results from the haze which exhibits large spatial and temporal variations. Significant diurnal differences are observed at low latitudes, with more haze close to the morning terminator than near the noon meridian.
