Strong Depletion of 13C in CO Induced by Photolysis of CO2 in the Martian Atmosphere, Calculated by a Photochemical Model [PDF]
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 The isotopic signature of atmospheric carbon offers a unique tracer for the history of the Martian atmosphere and the origin of organic matter on Mars. The photolysis of CO _2 is known to induce strong isotopic fractionation of the carbon between CO _2 ...

Dust tides and rapid meridional motions in the Martian atmosphere during major dust storms. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2020 The atmosphere of Mars is strongly affected by the spatial and temporal variability of airborne dust. However, global dust variability within a sol (Martian day) is still poorly understood.

Meteoric Metal Chemistry in the Martian Atmosphere. [PDF]
J Geophys Res Planets, 2018 Recent measurements by the Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) instrument on NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN mission show that a persistent layer of Mg+ ions occurs around 90 km in the Martian atmosphere but that neutral Mg atoms are ...

Clouds in the Martian Atmosphere
Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Planetary Science, 2018 Although resembling an extremely dry desert, planet Mars hosts clouds in its atmosphere. Every day somewhere on the planet a part of the tiny amount of water vapor held by the atmosphere can condense as ice crystals to form mainly cirrus-type clouds. The

Stable carbon isotope evolution of formaldehyde on early Mars [PDF]
Scientific ReportsOrganic matter in the Martian sediments may provide a key to understanding the prebiotic chemistry and habitability of early Mars. The Curiosity rover has measured highly variable and 13C-depleted carbon isotopic values in early Martian organic matter ...
