Scientific paper

Published experimental data on the Venus ionosphere are reviewed, and a critical analysis is presented of these data as well as of physical representations on which different quantitative models of the Venus ionosphere are based. The properties of the day and night ionosphere are examined along with possible ionization sources; particular attention is given to the main and lower ionization maxima, the position and dynamics of the ionopause, the region between the main ionization maximum and the ionopause, and nonstationary and small-scale phenomena. Divergences between the results of probe studies and radio-occultation measurements are pointed out. It is concluded that there is as yet no satisfactory quantitative description of the Venus ionosphere in its entirety.
