Scientific paper

The interpretation of unexpected characteristics of Pioneer Venus temperature measurements, and of the large difference between these and the Venera results, is aided by new Venus temperature profiles derived from engineering measurements of the Pioneer Venus Small-Probe Net Flux Radiometer instruments. To facilitate correction of a temperature-dependent radiometric response, these instruments monitored the temperatures of their deployed radiation detectors. The accurate calibration of the temperature sensors, and their strong thermal coupling to the atmosphere, make it possible to deduce atmospheric temperatures within 2K (at most altitudes) using a simple two-component thermal model to account for lag effects.
