Backscattering nephelometers on the Venera-13 and Venera-14 probes were used to investigate the vertical structure and optical density of the clouds of Venus. The equipment is described, and data on cloud structure are analyzed. Vertical profiles of optical density determined by Venera-13, 14 are compared with analogous profiles determined by Venera-9, 10, 11. The comparison shows that the vertical stratification of clouds is stable and that, on the whole, the clouds are spatially homgeneous at midlatitudes.
