Scientific paper

Data from Venera-9 and Venera-10 are reported and interpreted. The two satellites obtained 50 radio-occultations of the Venusian atmosphere and performed five scan sessions of bistatic radio-location of the Venusian surface during the period October 1975 to March 1976. The altitude dependence of the gas density, pressure, and temperature on the night side and on the day side is reported, and an analysis is provided for the stratified structure and turbulence in the Venusian atmosphere. The two regions of greatest turbulence were between 68 and 56 km and at 48-49 km above the planet's surface. Graphs of parameter variation on day side and night side are provided.
