Scientific paper

Thermal-emission spectra of Venus obtained by Venera 15 and 16 were used to determine the temperature profile in the Venus atmosphere at heights of 60-95 km. The obtained profiles show that the temperature decreases monotonically with increasing height inside the latitude zone of +, - 60 deg. At higher latitudes the atmosphere is warmer, and inversion or isothermal conditions are observed at a level of 10-100 mbar. Diurnal variations of temperature were not observed.
