Scientific paper

Electrophotometric light-curve studies were carried out to investigate the occultation of Epsilon Geminorum by Mars. A temperature difference of about 60 K was found between nighttime and daytime temperatures of the Mars atmosphere at a height of 50 km. A weak absorption or local cooling of the atmosphere was present at night at 50-55 km and during the day at 80-100 km. Attenuation of light at a height of 30 km was probably due to aerosols whose effect was less at night than during the day.
