Science Background: Asymmetric seasonal insulation, aridity, and the radiative importance of dust primarily distinguish atmospheric structure and dynamics on Mars compared with Earth [eg 1]. The last two decades have seen a significant increase in the amount and variety of observations characterizing the thermal structure and basic composition of the Mars atmosphere, from the surface to the exosphere. The picture that has emerged so far forms the basis for understanding the physical processes that control the current Martian climate, from the general circulation [2, 3], to the role of clouds [4] and photochemistry [5], the development of dust storms (both local [6, 7] and global [8, 9]), and channels and rates of atmospheric escape [10-13].
