Based on spaceborne experimental data, characteristics of turbulence are calculated for the Venusian troposphere under conditions corresponding to the planet-averaged flux of solar radiation, which is equal to its value at a solar zenith angle of 66°. Additionally, given experimental data on radiation fluxes and their numerical calculations, turbulence characteristics were calculated for a solar zenith angle of 45°. The turbulence pattern is significantly different for small and large solar zenith angles. At large solar zenith angles, there exist an anomalous downward turbulent heat flux above 7 10 km and a normal upward flux at lower heights. At small zenith angles, the turbulent flux is normal throughout the entire troposphere. The dissipation of turbulent energy contributes significantly to the atmospheric heating in a wide range of altitudes. The spectrum of the time and space scales of dissipative processes in the troposphere is very wide and changes with height.
