Abstract
⺠We measure the spatial profiles (lat-lon) of the zonal wind at Venus's cloud tops. ⺠These are the first such instantaneous measurements of latitudinal wind profiles. ⺠We detect spatial variability in the wind structure. ⺠Our method achieves a spatial resolution of 108 km/pixel at disk center. ⺠Results are consistent with previous measurements of winds based on cloud tracking.
