The origin of the near-infrared radiation detected by Allen and Crawford (1984) leaving the nightside of Venus is investigated by calculating theoretical spectra and comparing them with observations. It is found that the observed radiation can be fully accounted for by thermal emission from the deep atmosphere, and that the intensities suggest surprisingly low abundances for water vapor and carbon monoxide in those layers. These results have implications for probing the atmospheric structure and composition on Venus from the Galileo spacecraft, which is scheduled to make a close encounter with Venus in February 1990.
