Evaluating the Dust Storm Probability in Isidis‐Elysium Planitia, a Tentative Landing Area of China's First Mars Mission (Tianwen‐1)

Earth and Space Science, 2020
China's first Mars exploration mission (Tianwen‐1), launched on July 23, 2020 with the goal of “orbiting, landing, and roving,” and its tentative landing areas (TLAs) are Chryse Planitia (TLA 1) and Isidis‐Elysium Planitia (TLA 2).

Martian Dust Storm Spatial‐Temporal Analysis of Tentative Landing Areas for China's Tianwen‐3 Mars Mission

Earth and Space Science
China's first Mars sampling return mission (Tianwen‐3) is designed to launch and retrieve samples around 2030. Three tentative landing areas (TLAs) (Amazonis, Chryse and Utopia Planitiae, i.e., TLA‐A, TLA‐C and TLA‐U) are selected based on elevation

Recent activities for the dust storm studies in Central Asia

E3S Web of Conferences
This paper provides an overview of state-of-the-art technologies used to detect and predict sand and dust storms (SDS). SDS events typically occur when strong winds transport dry sand and dust particles from the ground. Several technologies have been developed to detect and predict SDS, with the goal of mitigating their impact on the natural ...

Relationship between frontal dust storms and transient eddy activity in the northern hemisphere of Mars as observed by Mars Global Surveyor [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2005
We have compiled a catalog of frontal dust storms in the northern hemisphere using Mars Orbiter Camera daily global maps spanning ∼2.3 Martian years of Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) observations (from 1999 to 2003). The most vigorous frontal storms that flush dust to the low latitudes occur in early‐mid fall and mid‐late winter, away from the northern ...

Dust, Sand, and Winds Within an Active Martian Storm in Jezero Crater. [PDF]

Geophys Res Lett, 2022
AbstractRovers and landers on Mars have experienced local, regional, and planetary‐scale dust storms. However, in situ documentation of active lifting within storms has remained elusive. Over 5–11 January 2022 (LS153°–156°), a dust storm passed over the Perseverance rover site.

Impact of a massive dust storm on the gross alpha, gross beta, 40K, 137Cs, 210Pb, 7Be activities measured in atmospheric aerosols collected in Tenerife, Canary Islands

Atmospheric Environment, 2020
Abstract From February 22 to 24, 2020, an intense dust storm affected the Spanish archipelago of the Canary Islands. Here we assess the radiological impact on the Canary Islands population of several natural and artificial radionuclides (40K, 137Cs, 210Pb, 7Be), and other radiological parameters (gross alpha and gross beta activity concentrations ...
