SO2 in the middle atmosphere of Venus: IR measurements from Venera 15 and comparison to UVTwo sets of measurements of SO2 bands in the Venus spectra are presented and compared: IR spectra obtained on the USSR Venera 15 orbiter and UV spectra from the American Pioneer Venus orbiter and sounding rockets. The 40-mbar level was chosen as a reference level for comparison. The UV data are referred to this level. There are three SO2 bands in the infrared spectrum: at 519, 1150, and 1360 cm(exp -1). The levels of their formation in the atmosphere may differ significantly, by more than 10 km.
