Small-scale turbulence in the Venus middle cloud layer

Measurements of the Doppler-velocity fluctuations indicated by the radio signals from the Vega balloons testify to strong turbulence in the nightside as well as the dayside Venus cloud layer. Wind speeds vary by up to 2 m/sec on time scales of 30-100 sec.
