Careful consideration must be given to the simultaneous treatment of the radiative transfer of the CO2 15 μm band and dust. Calculations for the Martian winter polar region show that a simple sum of separately calculated CO2 cooling rates and dust cooling rates can easily result in a 30% error in the net cooling, particularly near the surface. CO2 and dust hinder each other's ability to cool the atmosphere. Even during periods of low dust opacity, dust still reduces the efficacy of CO2 at cooling the atmosphere. At the other extreme when dust storms occur, CO2 still significantly impedes the ability of dust to cool the atmosphere. Hence, both CO2 and dust must be considered in radiative transfer models.
