The observed magnetic field configuration in the Venus magnetosheath contains information about the solar wind mass-loading processes occurring as a result of the extension of the neutral atmosphere into the magnetosheath. In this paper, magnetic field signatures of various mass-loading processes are discussed and experimental results from the Pioneer Venus Orbiter magnetometer experiment are examined for evidence of these signatures. The data suggest that the -V(bar)XB(bar) acceleration process, stochastic pickup of ionospheric ions, and J(bar)XB(bar) force 'scavenging' at the ionopause all occur at various times.
