Spectroscopic observations at the planetary limb were used to investigate the basic characteristics of aerosol in the Venus atmosphere above the clouds. At heights of 70-100 km, particle radius varied from 1 to 0.1-0.2 micron, particle number density varied from 100 to 0.1 per cu cm, particle mass density varied from 10 to the -9th to 10 to the -15th g/cu cm, and relative sulfuric acid content varied from 10 to the -6th to 5 x 10 to the -9th. The turbulent mixing coefficient was 10,000 sq cm/s at 70-75 km and increased to 1-million to 10-million sq cm/s. Spectroscopic limits for the content of seven constituents at various heights are obtained.
