Issue Date: | 2015 | Volume: | European Planetary Science Congress 2015 (EPSC) | First Page: | EPSC2015-663 | Abstract: | The atmospheric fluorescent emissions of CO2 at 4.3- um have been observed in the daytime upper atmosphere of Mars from a limb geometry by the instruments OMEGA and PFS on board Mars Express [1, 8]. Initial analysis using non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) models show that the emissions are well understood [7, 3, 6]. Yet they have not been exploited to derive important thermospheric parameters, like CO2 densities and temperatures. Our major goals are to improve current NLTE models with a joint study of OMEGA and PFS data, and to build an ambitious state-of-the-art NLTE retreival scheme for Mars. Recent progress has been made in these directions on Mars, Venus and Earth. We will present a summary of these efforts and the difficulties and expectatives for its application to the Mars Express data | Conference Name: | European Planetary Science Congress 2015 (EPSC) | Conference Place: | La Cité des Congrès, Nantes, France | Conference Date: | 27 settembre - 2 ottobre, 2015 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/26444 | URL: | https://www.epsc2015.eu/ | Bibcode ADS: | 2015EPSC...10..663L | Fulltext: | open |
