Mariner 9 ultraviolet spectrometer experiment: seasonal variation of ozone on Mars.
Ozone is observed to be present in the polar regions of Mars and to have a seasonal variation. In the summer, the amount present in the polar atmosphere is less than 3 micrometer-atmospheres. In the fall, ozone increases in amount and is found in association with the formation of the polar hood. In winter, the maximum amount of ozone is present, 57 micrometer-atmospheres over the polar hood and...
متن کاملMars Reconnaissance Orbiter Radio Science Gravity Investigation
[1] The objectives of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Radio Science Gravity Investigation are to improve knowledge of the static structure and characterize the temporal variability of the Martian gravitational field relevant to the planet’s internal dynamics, the structure and dynamics of the atmosphere, and the orbital evolution of spacecraft at Mars. The investigation will utilize range...
متن کاملMGS Radio Science electron density profiles: Interannual variability and implications for the Martian neutral atmosphere
[1] Martian electron density profiles provided by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Radio Science (RS) experiment over the 95–200 km altitude range indicate wthat the height of the electron peak and the longitudinal structure of the peak height are sensitive indicators of the physical state of the Mars lower and upper atmospheres. The present analysis is carried out on five sets of occultation pro...
متن کاملVertical dust mixing and the interannual variations in the Mars thermosphere
[1] Mars winter polar warming is a phenomenon of the lower thermosphere temperatures and densities that is well documented by in situ accelerometer data taken during spacecraft aerobraking maneuvers. Previous work by Bougher et al. (2006) simulates two specific time periods, corresponding to existing aerobraking data sets, and confirms the existence of winter polar warming structures in the Mar...
متن کاملIdentifying Surface Changes on Hrsc Images of the Mars South Polar Residual Cap (sprc)
The surface of Mars has been an object of interest for planetary research since the launch of Mariner 4 in 1964. Since then different cameras such as the Viking Visual Imaging Subsystem (VIS), Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC), and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Context Camera (CTX) and High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) have been imaging its surface at ev...
