Abstract We have collected information about Martian atmospheric scale heights derived from observations of the occultation of ϵ Gem by Mars on April 8, 1976. The observations give data in the altitude range ∼50 to 80 km. A rough, unweighted average of results so far available yields a temperature of ∼165°K. Excursions of ∼±40°K about this mean may be present as a function of both altitude and areographic coordinates.
