The concept is described of deducing the temperature and constituent profile of a planetary atmosphere from orbiter measurements of the planet's IR limb-radiance profile. Expressions are derived for the weighting functions associated with the limb-radiance profile for a Goody random-band model. Analysis of the weighting functions for the Martian atmosphere indicates that a limb radiance profile in the 15-micron CO2 band can be used to determine the Martian atmospheric temperature profile from 20 to 60 km. Simulation of the Martian limb-radiance profile in the rotational water-vapor band indicates that Martian water-vapor mixing ratios can be inferred from limb-radiance observations in a water-vapor band.
