Scientific paper

Strong 10-micron line emission from (C-12)(O-16)2 in the upper atmosphere of Venus has been detected by heterodyne techniques. Observations of the absolute Doppler shift of the emission features indicated mean zonal wind velocities less than 10 m/s in the upper atmosphere near the equator. No evidence was found for the 100-m/s wind velocity implied by the apparent four-day rotation period of ultraviolet cloud features.
