Evidence of a significant rotational non-LTE effect in the CO2 4.3 µm PFS-MEX limb spectra
Feofilov, Artem G.; Rezac, Ladislav; Kutepov, Alexander A.
Since January 2004, the planetary Fourier spectrometer (PFS) on board the Mars Express satellite has been recording near-infrared limb spectra of high quality up to the tangent altitudes ≈ 150 km, with potential information on density and thermal structure of the upper Martian atmosphere. We present first results of our modeling of the PFS short w…
New temperature and pressure retrieval algorithm for high-resolution infrared solar occultation spectroscopy: analysis and validation against ACE-FTS and COSMIC
Olsen, Kevin S.; Strong, Kimberly; Toon, Geoffrey C. +1 more
Motivated by the initial selection of a high-resolution solar occultation Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) to fly to Mars on the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, we have been developing algorithms for retrieving volume mixing ratio vertical profiles of trace gases, the primary component of which is a new algorithm and software for retrieving vertica…
