Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 6, 28 March 2025.Abstract Recent observations from the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) have revealed the presence of hydrogen chloride (HCl) in the martian atmosphere. HCl shows strong seasonality, primarily appearing during Mars' perihelion period before decreasing faster than projected from photolysis and gas‐phase chemistry.

Propagation and Periodicity of Mars's Northern Annular Mode Modulates the Dust Cycle
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 6, 28 March 2025.Abstract We document the propagation of annular modes—zonally symmetric patterns of variability—in Mars's atmosphere using a reanalysis dataset. Mars's Northern Annular Mode (MNAM) sees anomalies of zonal‐mean zonal wind emerge near the subtropics and migrate poleward with a period of ∼ ${\sim} $150 days, similarly to Earth's Southern Annular Mode.

Role of Synthetic Biofilms in Bed Evolution and the Formation of Sedimentary Structures
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 6, 28 March 2025.Abstract Microbes are known to shape topographies; however, mechanisms of biofilm‐sediment interactions and the dynamic evolution of biofilm‐covered bedforms remain poorly understood. Here, we explore the effects of synthetic biofilms on the geometry and temporal evolution of underwater bedforms through flume experiments.

Behaviors of Martian CO2-driven dry climate system and conditions for atmospheric collapses [PDF]
arXivThe present Martian climate is characterized by a cold and dry environment with a thin atmosphere of carbon dioxides (CO2). In such conditions, the planetary climate and habitability are determined by the distribution of CO2 between exchangeable reservoirs, that is the atmosphere, ice caps, and regolith.

Evaluation of thermal insulation materials [PDF]
, 1973 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.

Magnetosonic Waves Driven by Maxwellian Ring Protons in the Martian Upper Ionosphere
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 5, 16 March 2025.Abstract Magnetosonic (MS) waves can be generated by hot Maxwellian ring protons locally within the Martian upper ionosphere, characterized by a weak ambient magnetic field and the presence of cold plasma abundant in heavier ions. A comprehensive study on the resonant instabilities of MS waves making use of the derived growth rates show that ring ...
