Scientific paper

An occultation light curve can be analyzed to provide information about a planetary atmosphere. Temperature, pressure, and number density profiles for the atmosphere of Mars are derived from a series of boundary layer equations, which invert equal increments of altitude (as opposed to time) in order to predict the noise quality of the occultation. Numerical results are given for a noisy isothermal light curve, with special attention to error analysis.
