Density profiles of the gaseous atmosphere up to 3 km have been measured using laser backscatter. The ambiguity in the return at the laser frequency (6943 Å) due to the aerosol scatter component was avoided by monitoring the frequency-shifted Raman vibrational-rotational band of the nitrogen component centered at 8285 Å.
