内容記述 | Researchers found that it is possible to grow large clear samples of CO2 ice at Mars-like temperatures of 150-170K if a temperature controlled refrigerator is connected to an isolated two-phase pure CO2 system. They designed a chamber for transmission measurements whose optical path between the 13mm diameter window is adjustable from 1.6mm to 107mm. This will allow measurements of linear absorption down to less than 0.01 cm (exp -1). A preliminary transmission spectrum of a thick sample of CO2 ice in the near infrared was obtained. Once revised optical constants have been determined as a function of wavelength and temperature, they can be applied to spectral reflectance/emissivity models for CO2 snow surfaces, both pure and contaminated with dust and water ice, using previously established approaches. It will be useful, also, to develop an infrared scattering-emission cloud radiance model (especially as viewed from near the limb) in order to develop a strategy for the identification of CO2 cloud layers by the atmospheric infrared radiometer instrument on the Mars Observer. |
