Several recent suggestions for stabilizing the Martian atmosphere against photolysis have proved untenable. However, downward convective transport as well as a low altitude (0-35 km) aerosol, which catalyzes two-body molecular recombination reactions, can bring about such stability. The `effective' convection velocity and `average' two-body reaction rate coefficients required by observed abundances are evaluated. The computed profiles of CO and O at high altitude are shown to agree well with observations. NAS-NRC Research Associate, now at Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47401, U.S.A.
