Abstract The spectra of Venus thermal radiation obtained in the Fourier-spectrometer experiment on board Venera-15 orbiter are analysed in the spectral ranges covering the √2 (520 cm−1) and √3 (1350 cm−1) SO2 bands and the features of the H2O pure rotation band (250–450 cm−1). The abundances and vertical distributions of these gases in the altitude range 60–65 km are determined. Different types of variations of gas amounts in the atmosphere are discussed.
