Results are analyzed for radio-occultation studies of the dayside Venusian atmosphere performed at a wavelength of 32 cm during emersion of the Venera 9 and 10 satellites. The results apply to regions on Venus at latitudes of 13 to 69 deg and longitudes of 73 to 345 deg; the solar zenith angles in these regions ranged from 13 to 83 deg. Specific detailed information is provided concerning the dependence of density, pressure, and temperature in the dayside atmosphere on height above the planet's surface. The effect of the ionosphere on the accuracy of determining tropospheric parameters is examined, and results are compared for radio occultations of the dayside and nightside atmospheres. Peculiar features in the dayside temperature profile are described.
