Scientific paper

The CO abundance has a major impact on the chemical stability of the Martian atmosphere. Infrared spectra obtained with the ISM experiment on board Phobos spacecraft at high spatial resolution permit localized measurements of the CO abundance. The results imply the following: (1) a low CO abundance in the case of a constant vertical mixing ratio, inconsistent with previous observations; and (2) a CO depletion below an altitude of at least 20 km.
