The trick will be to minimize interference from variable cloud opacity and any specrtral color imparted to the surface emitted near IR filtering up through the clouds by varying cloud properties. The more data the accumulate, the more they will be able to cherry-pick data with the lowest cloud interference. For precise searches for thermal hotspots, they'll have to convolve the surface emissions with the blur-function of the atmosphere, and then the blur-and-sampling of the Venus Express observations before decisively detecting a thermal anomaly.
