Scientific paper

Data collected by the Venera-15 and Venera-16 side-looking (SL) radar systems and radio altimeters (RAs), in terms of the coefficient of the Venusian-surface reflection and the rms values of the surface slope, are used to construct maps of the Venusian-surface reflectivity and roughness. A method is developed for calculating these values by comparing amplified signals from SL and RA channels. These maps can be used to derive information on the electrophysical characteristics, the mineral composition, and the structure of the Venusian crust.
