Lellouch et al. (1989) obtained atmospheric CO mixing ratios from Martian C-12O and C-13O microwave spectra that were 3-5 times greater than the Kaplan et al. (1969) IR measurememts; they also inferred a factor-of-2 increase in atmospheric CO abundance between September, 1986 and January, 1987. A reanalysis has been conducted of the Lellouch material, and more detailed treatment of the radiative transfer analysis indicates that its observations are consistent with the Kaplan CO volume mixing ratio determination. It is also ascertained that the Lellouch atmospheric temperature profiles are in error, with no evidence being found for the extreme temperature inversions inferred for the lowest 5 km of the Martian atmosphere.
