Mars' atmospheric neon suggests volatile-rich primitive mantle [PDF]
Martian atmospheric neon (Ne) has been detected by Viking and also found as trapped gas in Martian meteorites, though its abundance and isotopic composition have not been well determined. Because the timescale of Ne loss via atmospheric escape estimated from recent measurements with MAVEN is short (0.6--1 $\times$ 10$^8$ years), the abundance and ...

The Ensemble Mars Atmosphere Reanalysis System (EMARS) Version 1.0
The Ensemble Mars Atmosphere Reanalysis System (EMARS) dataset version 1.0 contains hourly gridded atmospheric variables for the planet Mars, spanning Mars Year (MY) 24 through 33 (1999 through 2017).

The Mars system revealed by the Martian Moons eXploration mission
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) plans a Phobos sample return mission (MMX: Martian Moons eXploration). In this study, we review the related works on the past climate of Mars, its evolution, and the present climate and weather to describe the ...

A Lower Limit of Atmospheric Pressure on Early Mars Inferred from Nitrogen and Argon Isotopic Compositions [PDF]
We examine the history of the loss and replenishment of the Martian atmosphere using elemental and isotopic compositions of nitrogen and noble gases. The evolution of the atmosphere is calculated by taking into consideration various processes: impact erosion and replenishment by asteroids and comets, atmospheric escape induced by solar radiation and ...

Moisture in the Atmosphere of Mars [PDF]
IN your issue of May 5 I see a note in the astronomical column on Mr. Lowell's theory of the Martian canals. It is perhaps not just to criticise it on so short a summary, but there is a point on which I should like to ask a question. If, as Mr. Lowell says, there is not sufficient moisture on the planet to produce vegetation, how does the water return ...

Kinetic Helicity in the Earth's atmosphere [PDF]
An overview is given of the helicity of the velocity field (``kinetic'' helicity to distinguish it from the ``magnetic'' helicity used in magnetohydrodynamics, astrophysics, and solar physics; or simply \emph{helicity} in this Chapter) and of the role, which this concept plays in the modern research in atmospheric physics and atmospheric turbulence ...

Hydrodynamic simulations of captured protoatmospheres around Earth-like planets [PDF]
Young terrestrial planets, when they are still embedded in a circumstellar disk, accumulate an atmosphere of nebula gas. The evolution and eventual evaporation of the protoplanetary disk affect the structure and dynamics of the planetary atmosphere.

Mars and a Lunar Atmosphere [PDF]
IN NATURE, February 22, p. 565, reference is made to an interesting observation by Prof. Luther, of the Dusseldorf Observatory. The note states that he saw the half of the disc of Mars nearest the moon become green just before occultation on December 4, 1911, and he suggests that this may have been due to a lunar atmosphere. The time was 16h.

Using Spatial Data Science in Energy-Related Modeling of Terraforming the Martian Atmosphere
This paper proposes a methodology for numerical modeling of terraforming Mars’ atmosphere using high-energy asteroid impact and greenhouse gas production processes. The developed simulation model uses a spatial data science approach to analyze the Global

Properties and models of the Martian bow shock
Mars does not have a global magnetic field of the internal origin, thus, the solar wind plasma can interact directly with the upper atmosphere and the ionosphere and be shocked with the mass-loading and magnetic pileup processes.
