Scientific paper

Measurements of water-vapor content in the Venus atmosphere by the Vega 1 and 2 descent modules are examined. An effort is then made to identify the main atmospheric processes affecting the distribution of water vapor in the middle and lower atmosphere of Venus (i.e., at heights below 90 km). The water-vapor distribution is shown to be formed by the combined effect of dynamic and physicochemical processes, with different processes acting at different heights: e.g., photolytic water generation in the middle atmosphere, the evaporation of H2SO4 droplets in the cloud layer, and chemical reactions between atmospheric gases and surface rocks in the near-surface layer.
