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 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 ...
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 کاملDetecting electrical activity from Martian dust storms
We present a model addressing the possible electrification of Martian dust storms based on the effective electrical charging of an individual dust grain. An upper charge bound on a grain can be determined based on the grain capacitance in the lowpressure Martian atmosphere. It is assumed that treiboelectric and inductive processes, like that presumed operating in terrestrial dust storms, can el...
متن کاملA synthesis of Martian aqueous mineralogy after 1 Mars year of observations from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
[1] Martian aqueous mineral deposits have been examined and characterized using data acquired during Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s (MRO) primary science phase, including Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars hyperspectral images covering the 0.4–3.9 mm wavelength range, coordinated with higher–spatial resolution HiRISE and Context Imager images. MRO’s new high-resolution measurem...
