Suprathermal electron fluxes up to energies of 50 eV measured at moderate solar activity (MSA) during the Pioneer Venus Orbiter entry mission are presented and compared with measurements made during high solar activity (HSA). The median height profil

Ion density, temperature, and the partial densities of the main constituents of the Venusian nightside ionosphere during moderate solar activity are presented. The data were measured by the retarding potential analyzer of the Pioneer Venus Orbiter du

Behavior of the polar ionospheric F layer as it is convected through the cleft, over the polar cap, and through the nightside F layer trough zone is investigated. Passage through the cleft adds approximately 200,000 ions per cu cm in the vicinity of

Analytical and numerical models of plasma temperatures in the Venusian ionosphere are proposed. The magnitudes of plasma thermal parameters are calculated using thermal-structure data obtained by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter. The simple models are found

In previous work Knudsen (1974) presented a model for the convection field of the high latitude F layer and evaluated the time-dependent behavior of a tube of F layer plasma carried around the polar regions by the field. The present paper describes t

A simple, two-dimensional, spectral model of heat transport in the Venus ionosphere has been constructed. Numerical experiments with the model suggest that a nocturnal heat source about an order of magnitude smaller than the daytime source is require

Molecular ion concentration n(O2+ + NO+) has been obtained from a curve-fitting technique applied to characteristic curves of a retarding potential analyzer carried on an oriented satellite for four days in April 1962. Data were obtained continuously

The equations governing the flow of fluid through porous media are derived for those situations in which the fluid may be considered incompressible but continuously varying in density. The equations are used to obtain an analytic solution for the ins

The use of a plane-gridded retarding potential analyzer (planar ion trap) for measuring dominant constituent ion concentrations, ion temperature, and instrument potential in planetary ionospheres is analyzed. An example of its use for measuring these
