Scientific paper

Currently developed studies of radiance of the surface and the atmosphere of Mars are presented. In our modelling we have taken into consideration slant path geometry, various states of the atmosphere and the surface of Mars. Preliminary laboratory measurements of spectral emissivity are used in calculations in order to account for real variations as a function of wavelength. The work presented here is directly connected with the measurements to be carried out by the Infrared Planetary Fourier Spectrometer (PFS) during the Martian mission planned to be launched in November 1996. This instrument works in the wavelength range from 1.2 to 45 μm with a resolution of 2 cm^-1 and is optimised for atmospheric and surface studies. At present we limit our simulation to the spectral range from 5 to 13 mum, where some of the most relevant surface features are present.
