During the Vega Venus balloon mission, data on the thermodynamic state of the atmosphere were obtained as well as wind and cloud information. Explanations are provided for the following: (1) the large amplitude atmospheric vertical winds encountered by the Vega balloons, (2) the observed 6.5 K temperature difference consistently measured between the two Vega balloons, and (3) the apparent influence of surface topography on atmospheric motions seen by the Vega-2 balloon as it flew over mountainous terrain (known as Aphrodite). It is believed that vertical winds of the magnitude encountered by the Vega-2 balloon over Aphrodite may be the result of surface-induced gravity waves.
