Scientific paper

Radio emissions attributed to lightning on Venus have been recorded by
Venera 11 and 12 and by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter. The Venera descent
records are compared to patterns of radio propagation within the
Venusian atmosphere and an explanation is found for some timing trends
that, if correct, indicates the lightning was below 33 km in altitude.
