Scientific paper

Pressures and altitudes on Mars are determined on the basis of intensity variations in the CO2 bands near 2 microns which were measured by Mars 3. The general range of the altitude measurements amounted to 8 km. A correlation is found between the brightness coefficient and altitude on scales of the order of several hundred kilometers. It is found that on the average, darker areas are higher. The upper limit of dust clouds during a dust storm is shown to reach 10 to 15 km in the equatorial regions.
