Scientific paper

Venera satellite radio-occultation measurements of the 42-90 km altitude thermal structure of the Venus atmosphere were conducted during three occultation cycles in the polar and near-polar regions of both hemispheres. The results thereby obtained underscore the thermal similarity of both hemispheres' thermal structures. A significant difference is noted between the polar regions, however, at the tropopausal level; temperature and pressure at the southern polar region tropopause are 15 K and 68 mbar lower than in the northern region.
