Retrieval and characterization of carbon monoxide (CO) vertical profiles in the Martian atmosphere from observations of PFS/MEX

Vandaele, Ann Carine; Aoki, Shohei; Daerden, Frank +7 more

The knowledge of the carbon monoxide (CO) abundance on Mars is essential in order to assess the processes driving the carbon cycle on the planet. Solar occultation measurements provide vertically-resolved measurements of CO from a few kilometers to higher altitudes and can be complemented by nadir measurements to enhance the spatial coverage of ob…
