Scientific paper

Monte Carlo models of the distribution of atomic hydrogen in the exosphere of Venus were computed which simulate the effects of thermospheric winds and the production of a 'hot' hydrogen component by charge exchange of H(+) and H and Q in the exosphere, as well as classic exospheric processes. A thermosphere wind system that is approximated by a retrograde rotating component with equatorial speed of 100 m/sec superimposed on a diurnal solar tide with cross-terminator day-to-night winds of 200 m/sec is shown to be compatible with the thermospheric hydrogen distribution deduced from Pioneer Venus orbiter measurements.
