Scientific paper

Results of an interpretation of infrared brightness profiles of the Mars atmosphere near the limb obtained by Phobos 2 on 26 March 1989 are reported. It is shown that aerosol is responsible for the main contribution to radiation beyond the limb. Two components (exponential and stratified) are identified in the radiating medium, and the characteristics of these components are discussed. Numerical dust concentration near the surface is estimated at 2/cu cm.
