The abundance of HDO above the clouds in the dayside atmosphere of Venus was measured by ground-based 2.3μm spectroscopy over 4 days. This is the first HDO observation above the clouds in this wavelength region corresponding to a new height region. The latitudinal distributions found show no clearly defined structure. The disk-averaged mixing ratio is 0.22±0.03ppm for a representative height region of 62–67km. This is consistent with measurements found in previous studies. Based on previous H2O measurements, the HDO/H2O ratio is found to be 140±20 times larger than the telluric ratio. This lies between the ratios of 120±40 and 240±25, respectively, reported for the 30–40km region by ground-based nightside spectroscopy and for the 80–100km region by solar occultation measurement on board the Venus Express.
