Models of the Venus neutral upper atmosphere, based on both in situ and remote sensing measurements, are provided for the height interval from 100 to 3500 km. The general approach in model formulation was to divide the atmosphere into three regions: 100-150 km, 150-250 km, and 250-3500 km. Boundary conditions at 150 km are consistent with both drag and mass spectrometer measurements. A paramount consideration was to keep the models simple enough to be used conveniently. Available observations are reviewed.
