Scientific paper

Mechanisms are examined for excitation of strong 10-micron CO2 emission lines seen on Mars and Venus. Line absorption of near-infrared solar flux directly by CO2 or H2O with collisional transfer of energy to CO2 are proposed as likely excitation mechanisms. Altitudes for peak 10-micron emission are estimated to be near 80 km for Mars and 120 km for Venus.
