A space-time composite of television pictures from Mariner 10, simulating a view that would have been obtained if the spacecraft had flown over one of the poles of Venus, indicated a circumpolar vortex organization of the ultraviolet features with a bright, elliptic cloud situated over either pole. Motions of features viewed in ultraviolet images were highly zonal in the same direction as the slow rotation of the solid planet. The zonal component of motion at the equator was about -95 1/ms and increased with latitude to a maximum magnitude 10 to 30 1/ms larger than the equatorial value, near 40 degrees latitude in either hemisphere. The zonal component was observed to decrease to -75 degrees 1/ms near 60 degrees latitude. The results verify that Venus' stratospheric circulation in either hemisphere is composed of a hemispheric, circumpolar vortex with an implied mass flow towards the pole.
