Scientific paper

The difference-equation algorithm for multiple scattering presently used, which is comparable to the matrix-operator method in accuracy and efficiency, is used to calculate the radiative transfer characteristics of a realistic model of the atmosphere and cloud layers of Venus. In order to obtain a fit between computation results and ground-based observations of the night side of Venus, special parameters accounting for the CO2 far-wing opacity and unidentified strong absorption bands must be introduced. For a region of average brightness, the fit thus obtained implies a depletion of water by a factor of 4 with respect to Pioneer Venus results.
