Multidirectional Dune Dynamics Under Seasonal Winds on Mars
Abstract We present a systematic assessment of the complex aeolian bedforms across the western rim of Hellas Planitia, the largest impact basin on Mars. Repeat orbital imaging shows crescentic, transverse, and star dunes across the Hellespontus Montes region migrate, converge, and occasionally reverse course.

A hybrid origin for the Martian atmosphere
The Martian isotopic record displays a dichotomy in volatile compositions. Interior volatiles from the mantle record a chondritic heritage (e.g., H, N, Kr, Xe) whereas the atmospheric reservoir of Kr and Xe - which do not currently experience escape - record heritage from a solar-like source.

Ion Escape From Degenerate Induced Magnetospheres: The Case of Mars
Abstract When the cone angle of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) becomes small, induced magnetospheres of unmagnetized planets degenerate. Using hybrid simulations, we study ionospheric ion escape in a 4° cone angle case and compare it with the nominal 55° cone angle (Parker spiral) case. The total escape rate is 1.7×1025 $1.7\times 1{0}^{25}$ s−

Martian atmospheric Lee waves [PDF]
Mariner 9 television pictures of Mars extensive mountain lee wave phenomenon in the northern mid-latitudes during winter were evaluated. The characteristic wave length of the lee waves is readily observable, and in a few cases the boundaries of the wave patterns, as well as the wave length, are observed.

Abstract Spectrally dependent emission by the surface (i.e., surface spectral emissivity) is commonly ignored by current climate models. Surface spectral emissivity matters more in cold and dry environments than in hot and humid environments. Recent modeling studies confirmed that, for current climate simulations, this process affects the polar climate

Evaluation of thermal insulation materials [PDF]
Data was obtained on silicone-bonded fiberglass, isocyanurate foam, and two dozen other insulators. Materials were selected to withstand heat sterilization, outer space, and the Martian atmosphere.
