Scientific paper

During the last decade general circulation models (GCM) for Mars have evolved to a state allowing detailed predictions of the state of the martian atmosphere. Temperatures are a key variable in the models and need to be validated by observations. Especially in the upper atmosphere temperatures are only poorly constraint by observations. Heterodyne spectroscopy of CO2 at 10 μm wavelengths is a powerful tool to study temperatures in the upper atmospheres of the terrestrial planets. Temperatures can be calculated from fully resolved non-LTE emission lines probing an altitude of 70 km. We will present temperature retrievals from observations between 2005 and 2010 covering an LS range from 335-60.
