摘要

We propose a method to estimate seasonal changes in the composition of the Martian atmosphere, which is influenced by CO_2 condensation due to the polar nights at southern high latitudes. The method relies on measurements of the Ar concentration obtained by the Gamma Ray Spectrometer(GRS) onboard Mars Odyssey. We assume that the Martian atmosphere is composed of CO_2, N_2, and Ar, and is vertically well mixed. Since N_2 and Ar do not condense even during the polar nights, the ratio of N_2 and Ar remains constant, and the concentrations of N_2 and CO_2 can be estimated from Ar measurements. Estimates of the atmospheric composition were utilized for the rederivation of temperature and pressure profiles in the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) radio occultation measurements (~70 profiles of ~20,000 profiles in the whole data set) at southern polar latitudes (90?S–75?S) during the autumn, winter, and spring seasons(Ls = 0?–240?). The rederived profiles indicated that use of the standard global composition overestimated the temperature by at least approximately 5 K at Ls = ~ 120? (midwinter), when the largest CO_2 depletion occurred and the CO_2 volume mixing ratio fell to 78%. The occurrence and degree of CO_2 supersaturation were several times higher and larger, respectively, in the rederived temperature profiles than in the original MGS profiles. This suggests that consideration of CO_2 depletion during southern polar nights is needed when studying CO_2 supersaturation using radio occultation profiles.
