Scientific paper
Closed-loop frequency data from Mariner 10 have provided S and X-band temperature-pressure profiles for Venus' neutral atmosphere, as well as an S-band profile for the nightside ionosphere. The dual-frequency radio-occultation experiment was independently monitored by two radio telescopes: Goldstone and Owens Valley (X-band only). Comparisons are also made with data obtained from Mariner 5 and in-situ measurements from Veneras 8, 9, and 10. Attention is given to anomalies in the amplitude and frequency of spacecraft signals during their exit from the Venusian atmosphere, as evidenced by radio occultation.
