Scientific paper
The CRISM visible and near-infrared imaging spectrometer on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) first obtained limb profile observations of the Mars atmosphere in December 2006. More recently, MRO has begun to obtain two full orbits of such CRISM limb observations every two months. These data provide unique vertical profile measurements of dust and ice aerosols, as well as key gas constituents. We present a monte carlo radiative transfer analysis of Dec2006 (Ls=149) and Jul09 (Ls=301) CRISM limb observations for dust and ice aerosol optical depth and particle size profiles, as well as preliminary O2 singlet delta emission rate profiles. O2 singlet delta emission results from the photodissociation of ozone, and so constitutes a measure of Mars atmospheric ozone abundance.
