Scientific paper

THE atmosphere of Mars appears to be predominantly undissociated CO2 (refs. 1-3). It was possible by assuming very rapid transport downwards to explain the composition of the upper atmosphere, but a problem remained at lower altitudes. More recent determinations4,5 of the rate of O-CO recombination have, however, given a rate constant two orders of magnitude lower than that used in the calculations for 200 K, the Martian surface temperature. This creates a more severe problem. There are less CO and O2 than can be accounted for by a mechanism of photolysis and recombination.
