Scientific paper

Interplanetary probe data on the interaction of the solar wind with the ionosphere of Venus are examined. It is shown that the ionospheric pressure above the ionopause is approximately equal to the dynamic pressure of the solar wind, while the value of magnetic pressure at the ionopause amounts to about 2/3 of the value of external and ionospheric pressures. A first-approximation model is proposed for changes of pressure at the ionopause as a function of height and solar zenith angle. This model makes it possible to determine the 'instantaneous' profile of the ionopause for a given solar-wind pressure.
