Scientific paper

An analysis is made of Pioneer-Venus and Venera 15 and 16 data on radio-wave absorption at wavelengths of 5 and 13 cm in the Venus atmosphere at heights from 40 to 70 km. It is shown that this absorption is due to sulfuric acid vapor. At 39-44 km, the sulfuric acid concentration (amounting to 37 + or - 7 ppm) is shown to depend weakly on height. At 54 to 53 km, the H2SO4 concentration decreases with height; at 47 km, it amounts to 20 + or - 5 ppm.
