The occultation of Epsilon Gem by Mars as observed from Agassiz Station

Observations of the April 8, 1976, occultation of Epsilon Gem by Mars made at the Agassiz Station of the Harvard College Observatory have been analyzed to yield temperature profiles of the Martian atmosphere for number densities between 10 to the 13th and 10 to the 15th power per cu cm. Pronounced wavelike structure is evident in both immersion and emersion profiles, with a peak-to-peak variation of up to 50 K and a vertical scale of 20 km.
