| Zusammenfassung |
| Since 2004 OMEGA has acquired more than 500 vertical limb profiles at various locations,
seasons and illuminations. With its 1 mrad IFOV, the vertical sampling is in the kilometer
scale. At each altitude step, OMEGA acquires the full spectrum, in more than 300 spectral
channels covering the range .5 to 5.1 μm. The spectral features (continuum slope, absorption
and emission bands) are diagnostic of all atmospheric constituents: molecules, grains,
icy particles, clouds. Their monitoring in time and space offers a unique means to
decipher the atmospheric processes taking place in the Mars environment. We will
present and discuss them, primarily within the frame of the H2O and CO2 cycles. |
