Abstract
A radar interferometer was used to map unambiguously the surface reflectivity of Venus in the polarized mode at a wavelength of 70 centimeters. The observed region extended from 260° to 30° in longitude and from -60° to 50° in latitude with a surface resolution of approximately 3° by 3°. The result agrees well in most respects with earlier maps made elsewhere at shorter wavelengths and, in addition, discloses a number of new "features."Keywords
