Mars Climate Sounder (MCS) is a mid- and far-infrared thermal emission radiometer on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). Since Sep. 24, 2006, MCS has been taking measurements of the Martian surface and atmosphere in limb and nadir geometry with a duty cycle of ~2 profile measurements per minute. With its 8 infrared and one visible channel, MCS measures vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature, water vapor, dust and condensates from 0 to 80 km altitude with a vertical resolution of ~5 km. The retrieval of vertical profiles from the measured radiances is based on the iterative method by Chahine. We will decribe and characterize the retrieval algorithm, and present first examples of retrieved profiles of atmospheric temperature and dust opacity.
