Analysis of CO2 non-LTE emissions at 4.3µm in the Martian atmosphere as observed by PFS/Mars Express and SWS/ISO
López-Puertas, M.; López-Moreno, J. J.; Lellouch, E. +5 more
Daytime nadir spectra of the Martian atmosphere taken by the planetary Fourier spectrometer/Mars Express (PFS) and by the infrared space observatory (ISO) in the 4.3µm region are analyzed using a theoretical non-LTE model of the CO2 infrared emissions in that atmosphere. Averaged spectra from these instruments show a double peak s…
A Martian PFS average spectrum: Comparison with ISO SWS
Lellouch, E.; Encrenaz, T.; Piccioni, G. +13 more
The evaluation of the planetary Fourier spectrometer performance at Mars is presented by comparing an average spectrum with the ISO spectrum published by Lellouch et al. [2000. Planet. Space Sci. 48, 1393.]. First, the average conditions of Mars atmosphere are compared, then the mixing ratios of the major gases are evaluated. Major and minor bands…
