Martian clouds observed by Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera
[1] We have made daily global maps that cover both polar and equatorial regions of Mars for Ls 135 –360 and 0 –111 using the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) red and blue wide-angle swaths taken from May 1999 to January 2001. We study the seasonal distribution of condensate clouds and dust clouds during roughly 1 Martian year using these daily global maps. We present the dev...
متن کاملEarly views of the martian surface from the Mars Orbiter Camera of Mars Global Surveyor.
High-resolution images of the martian surface at scales of a few meters show ubiquitous erosional and depositional eolian landforms. Dunes, sandsheets, and drifts are prevalent and exhibit a range of morphology, composition (inferred from albedo), and age (as seen in occurrences of different dune orientations at the same location). Steep walls of topographic depressions such as canyons, valleys...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of the winter polar wave clouds observed by Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter
In 1998, the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter revealed the presence of isolated or quasi-periodic thick clouds during the martian polar night. They are believed to be composed of CO2 ice particles and to be tilted against the wind direction, a feature characteristic of vertically propagating orographic gravity waves. To support that interpretation, we present here numerical simulations with a two-d...
متن کاملAn Orthoimage Map Using Data Obtained from the Mars Orbiter Camera of Mars Global Surveyor
A basic requirement for the planning of future Mars missions are precise and high resolution maps, especially, of the landing site area. We present a new digital orthoimage map of Mars using data obtained from the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) of the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS). The new map covers the Mars surface from 180° E (180° W) to 360° E (0° W) and from 60° South to 60° North with a resolutio...
متن کاملObservation of the Martian Cryptic Region from Mars Orbiter Camera
Introduction: The distribution of the Martian south pole is not symmetric during the springtime retreat. On the opposite side of the residual cap a socalled cryptic region is found between latitudes 75 and 85 and longitude 150 W and 310 W [8]. A major puzzle about the cryptic region is that the albedo appears almost as dark as the bare ground but the surface temperature still remains cold. The ...
