Abstract

Ground-based telescopes offer a number of advantages for characterising the Martian atmosphere, including the ability to use high resolution (R ~ 30000) spectroscopy and to simultaneously characterise the atmospheric state across an entire hemisphere. In October/November 2005 we obtained high-resolution ground-based spectra of Mars in the 1.6 μm and 2.0 μm CO2 bands using IRTF/CSHELL and Gemini South/GNIRS with the intention of deriving temperature, pressure and dust optical depth maps from these. We will make use of a forward-modelling technique to iteratively match our observational spectra to simulated spectra created using SMART and VSTAR. We present preliminary results demonstrating our models and observations match closely.
