Scientific paper

Doppler measurements of the two Vega balloons yield the following
provisional estimates for the mean zonal wind velocity at the 53-54 km
level in the Venus atmosphere: 69 + or - 1 m/sec for Vega 1 and 66 + or
- 1 m/sec for Vega 2, with westward flow. The wind data show a
perturbation which might be an evidence of solar tides.
