Abstract
Ozone formation in the lower atmosphere of Mars via the solar photolysis of oxygen has been previously investigated by Marmo and Warneck [1961], who found the resulting steady-state ozone concentration to increase monotonically with decreasing altitude, the maximum ozone concentration occurring at the surface of the planet. A more recent study by Paetzold [1963], however, took exception to this view, since it suggested the existence of an ozone concentration peak at an altitude of around 40 km. From his results Paetzold derived conclusions about the stratospheric circulation and wind patterns, which can serve to demonstrate the importance of the Martian ozone distribution profile. The present note, accordingly, is concerned with the conflict between the previous notions about the ozone distribution profile and those advanced by Paetzold's paper.
