Venera-15 infrared data were represented in the following ways: latitude dependence of brightness temperature for selected wave numbers; dependence of brightness temperature on date and solar time for selected latitudes; and analogous dependences for the spectrum ('flux') integral. A preliminary analysis shows the existence of three characteristic regions in the northern hemisphere of Venus: low latitudes (40-60 deg) where the brightness temperatures and fluxes are constant; a 'cold zone' (60-75 deg), with large variations; and a warm 'polar cap' (phi greater than 75 deg). It is also shown that thermal asymmetry is absent at latitudes below 60 deg, that hot spots may occur in pairs, and that the cold zone does not rotate together with the atmosphere.
