Scientific paper

The 1968 occultation light curves are reanalyzed, and the uncertainty of results obtained with the inversion technique is emphasized. Refractivity profiles are used for this analysis, and the influence of ray crossing on light curves is described. The scale height defining the gross variation of refractivity is determined to be about 49 km with an uncertainty of at least 2 km. It is shown that detailed temperature profiles derived from the light curves exhibit considerably greater uncertainty.
