Description: Data obtained by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter Infrared Radiometer in late 1978 and early 1979 are presented in tabular form, including, in particular, the mean temperature structure, with complete latitudinal and longitudinal coverage, and zonal-mean cloud properties. The mean thermal and cloud structures can be interpreted in terms of general circulation of the middle atmosphere. The interim results indicate that (1) the zonal winds on Venus fall to very low values above 90 km, (2) there is a strong midlatitude jet which circles the planet approximately every two days, and (3) the observed solar tides are dominated by the semidiurnal component.
