We present and compare two sets of Venus \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) measurements: IR spectra from the USSR Venera 15 orbiter and UV spectra from the US Pioneer Venus orbiter and sounding rockets. We choose the \(40-\mathrm{mb}\) pressure level for this comparison. At low and mid latitudes, both data sets g
