Dust Storms, Valley Fever, and Public Awareness
GeoHealth, 2022 We discuss several issues raised by Comrie (2021, https://doi.org/10.1029/2021GH000504), which uses a crowdsourced data set to study dust storms and coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever).

Properties of a Martian local dust storm in Atlantis Chaos from OMEGA/MEX data [PDF]
, 2017 In this study we present the analysis of the dust properties of a local storm imaged in the Atlantis Chaos region on Mars by the OMEGA imaging spectrometer on March 2nd 2005. We use the radiative transfer model MITRA to study the dust properties at solar wavelengths between 0.5 {\mu}m and 2.5 {\mu}m and infer the connection between the local storm ...

Effects of Solar Activity, Solar Insolation and the Lower Atmospheric Dust on the Martian Thermosphere [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 A diagnosis of the Ar densities measured by the Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer aboard the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) and the temperatures derived from these densities shows that solar activity, solar insolation, and the lower atmospheric dust are the dominant forcings of the Martian thermosphere.

Mars Express measurements of surface albedo changes over 2004 - 2010 [PDF]
Icarus, 251, 145-163, 2015, 2014 The pervasive Mars dust is continually transported between the surface and the atmosphere. When on the surface, dust increases the albedo of darker underlying rocks and regolith, which modifies climate energy balance and must be quantified. Remote observation of surface albedo absolute value and albedo change is however complicated by dust itself when ...

Environmental Research: HealthClimate change is projected to increase the risk of dust storms, particularly in subtropical dryland, including the southwestern US. Research on dust storm’s health impacts in the US is limited and hindered by challenges in dust storm identification ...

Orbit-spin coupling and the interannual variability of global-scale dust storm occurrence on Mars [PDF]
, 2016 A new physical hypothesis predicts that a weak coupling of the orbital and rotational motions of extended bodies may give rise to a modulation of circulatory flows within their atmospheres. Driven cycles of intensification and relaxation of large-scale circulatory flows are predicted, with the phasing of these changes linked directly to the rate of ...

Comparative Analysis of Terahertz Propagation Under Dust Storm Conditions on Mars and Earth [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Reliable Terahertz (THz) links are necessary for outdoor point-to-point communication with the exponential growth of wireless data traffic. This study presents a modified Monte Carlo simulation procedure for estimating THz link attenuation due to multiple scattering by dust particles on the THz beam propagation path. Scattering models are developed for

Mars Science Laboratory Observations of the 2018/Mars Year 34 Global Dust Storm
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover observations of the 2018/Mars year 34 global/planet‐encircling dust storm represent the first in situ measurements of a global dust storm with dedicated meteorological sensors since the Viking Landers.

Earth and Space ScienceChina's Tianwen‐3 mission is expected to be launched around 2028, making it the first Mars sample return mission. Dust storms occurring in all seasons on Mars can affect the accuracy and safety of the landing and takeoff phases of Mars sampling missions.
