Pluto's atmosphere - Models based on refraction, inversion, and vapor-pressure equilibrium

Viking spacecraft radio-occultation measurements indicate that, irrespective of substantial differences, the polar ice cap regions on Mars have inversions similar to those of Pluto, and may also share vapor pressure equilibrium characteristics at the surface. This temperature-inversion phenomenon oc...
