Abstract

Observations of the April 8, 1976 occultation of ϵ Gem by Mars made at the Agassiz Station of the Harvard College Observatory have been analyzed to yield temperature profiles of the Martian atmosphere for number densities between 10 13 and 10 15 cm −3. Pronounced wavelike structure is evident in both immersion and emersion profiles, with a peak-tto-peak variation of up to 50°K and a vertical scale of 20 km.
