Scientific paper

An extended analysis of IR occultation data of the Martian atmosphere from the Phobos spacecraft is presented. Altitude profiles of volume extinction coefficients at 1.9 and 3.7 microns are presented and the aerosol parameters including number density and effective radius are evaluated using the approximation of spherical dust particles and classical Mie theory. The data are interpreted using a dynamic model of the Martian atmosphere.
