Abstract
Latitudinal variations of mesospheric temperature profiles, cloud top altitudes, and cloud optical depths were investigated using both VIRTIS-M-IR and VENERA-15-PMV nadir-looking nightside radiation measurements over the northern hemisphere of Venus. Prominent and well-known temperature structures like 'cold collar' and 'hot dipole' were reexamined and decreasing cloud top altitudes towards the pole were identified. First results on spectral changes of cloud optical depth were obtained that are required to produce optimum fits of measured brightness spectra. The variations may indicate spatial and temporal changes of cloud composition.
