Abstract
⺠We detect mesospheric aerosol layers in limb-spectra from Mars Climate Sounder. ⺠Aphelion season layers are mostly equatorial, high altitude and cold. ⺠Layers in perihelion season are mostly mid-latitude, lower altitude and warmer. ⺠Layers are spectrally similar to H2O or CO2-ice. ⺠Temperatures proximal to some aphelion layers are close to the CO2 frost point.
