Abstract

Abstract The structure of the Venus atmosphere is discussed. The data obtained in the 1980s by the last Soviet missions to Venus: orbiters Venera 15, 16 and the entry probes and balloons of Vega 1 and 2 are compared with the Venus International Reference Atmosphere (VIRA) model. VIRA is based on the data of the extensive space investigations of Venus in the 1960s and 1970s. The results of the IR Fourier Spectrometry experiment on Venera 15 are reviewed in detail. This instrument is considered as a precursor of the long wavelength channel of the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer on Venus Express.
