Scientific paper

The altitude dependence of CO2 and CO2(+) is obtained from experimental data on the luminance of CO2 bands recorded aboard Mariner 6 and Mariner 7. CO2 concentrations are also determined from data on electron density. Both CO2 profiles are found to be consistent with one another. They correspond to the data of a model discussed by Barth et al. (1972) for a height of 130 km, but discrepancies increase with increasing height, especially in the range 200-220 km. A correct interpretation of the temperature profile at these heights require to take into account gravitational and acoustic waves as a basic source of atmospheric heating. An atmospheric model is proposed for heights in the range 120-220 km.
