The goal of this paper is to summarize the experimental data on the atmosphere of Venus obtained after 1985, when the VIRA (Venus International Reference Atmosphere) or COSPAR model was published. Among the most important results that have appeared since then are the following: measurements of the vertical temperature profile by the
VEGA spacecraft with high precision and high altitude resolution; measurements made with balloons of the
VEGA spacecraft; radio occultation measurements of
Magellan, Venera-15, and
Venera-16; and temperature profiles derived from the data of infrared spectrometry obtained by
Venera-15. The new result as compared to VIRA is the creation of a model of the atmosphere in the altitude range 55 to 100 km dependent on local time. This model is presented in our paper in tabulated form.
