Preliminary results of the nephelometer experiments conducted aboard the large sounder, day, north, and night probes of the Pioneer Venus mission are presented. The vertical structures of the Venus clouds observed simultaneously at each of the four locations from altitudes of from 63 kilometers to the surface are compared, and similarities and differences are noted. Tentative results from attempting to use the data from the nephelometer and cloud particle size spectrometer on the sounder probe to identify the indices of refraction of cloud particles in various regions of the Venus clouds are reported. Finally the nephelometer readings for the day probe during impact on the surface of Venus are presented.
本文介绍了先锋金星号任务中搭载在大型探测器、白昼、北极和夜间探测器上进行的浊度计实验的初步结果。比较了在四个地点同时从63公里高度到地表观测到的金星云层的垂直结构，并指出了异同点。报告了尝试使用探测器上浊度计和云粒子大小光谱仪的数据来确定金星云层不同区域云粒子折射率指数的初步结果。最后给出了白昼探测器在撞击金星表面期间的浊度计读数。
