Scientific paper

Winds in the lower atmosphere of Venus, inferred from three-dimensional radio interferometric tracking of the descents of the Pioneer day and north probes, are predominantly easterly with speeds of about 1 M/sec near the surface, 50 at the bottom of the clouds, and more than 200 within the densest, middle cloud layer. Between about 25 and 55 km altitude the average flow was slanted equatorward, with superimposed wavelike motions and alternating layers of high and low shear
