Venusian polar surface temperatures I've stumbled across several articles about how the Venusian polar high atmosphere is really cold. What these articles appear to fail to specify is what the surface temperatures of the poles are. I am interested in knowing the polar surface temperatures. I would think that convection would lower the polar surface temperature to lower amounts, but I don't know a lot about Venus's poles to say anything about this.
Venus's surface temperature is hot everywhere at about 460⁰C. There may some small differences due to latitude, but not nearly as pronounced as on Earth or Mars. The supercritial CO2 that forms the lower atmosphere is a good conductor of heat, keeping surface temperatures very stable.

The article you refer to notes that models of the Venusian atmosphere predict somewhat higher temperatures at high altitude and latitude than can be inferred from measurements made during aerobraking. This tells us that the models of the atmosphere need to be tweaked. It doesn't mean that there is a region of cool temperatures at the poles.
