摘要: Winds in the lower atmosphere of Venus, inferred from three-dimensional radio interferometric tracking descents Pioneer day and north probes, are predominantly easterly with speeds about 1 meter per second near surface, 50 meters at bottom clouds, more than 200 within densest, middle cloud layer. Between 25 55 kilometers altitude average flow was slanted equatorward, superimposed wavelike motions alternating layers high low shear.
