Scientific paper

The median values of the principal ionospheric quantities of the Venus dayside ionosphere are presented. The values are derived from the quantities measured by the Pioneer-Venus orbiter retarding potential analyzer over a period of two earth years at solar cycle maximum. Quantities reported are total ion density, O(+) density, O2(+) density, sum density (NO(+) + N2(+) + CO(+)), CO2(+) density, ion temperature, electron temperature, and plasma particle pressure. The data are organized to reveal altitude, solar zenith angle, solar longitude, and latitude dependences. The O(+) density exhibits both a solar longitude and a latitude dependence which may be caused by superrotation of the thermosphere and/or ionosphere. Asymmetry between the dawn and dusk terminator regions in the behavior of other quantities is also described.
