Description: Detailed band models for CO2 and H2O absorption are used to reinterpret Venera 11 spectra of the transmitted sunlight at several levels in the Venus atmosphere. An effective path approximation is used to allow for scattering in the clouds. The atmospheric model has 10 layers and uses 211 CO2 and 15 H2O vibrational transitions at 5/cm resolution. The conclusion of Moroz et al. (1979) that the 0.94 micron feature of the spectra indicates a sharp maximum in the water-vapor profile near 50 km is confirmed. It is also confirmed that such a profile fails to account for the spectra in the 1.13 micron water bands.
