Carbon reservoirs on Mars: Constraints from Martian meteorites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We have measured the abundance and stable isotopic composition of magmatic carbon extracted from a suite of shergottites. The results confirm previous findings that primordial carbon on Mars is isotopically lighter than that of the ...

Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter: Experiment summary after the first year of global mapping of Mars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA), an instrument on the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft, has measured the topography, surface roughness, and 1.064-μm reflectivity of Mars and the heights of volatile and dust clouds.

Effects of Martian Dust Storms on Ionospheric Peak Altitudes

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The effects of Martian dust storms on the atmosphere and ionosphere is one of the hot topics in Mars research. This paper reports on the effects of a local dust storm on the ionospheric peak altitude based on electron density profile observations from ...

Dual-Wavelength Interferometric Detection Technology for Wind and Temperature Fields in the Martian Middle and Upper Atmosphere Based on LCTF

open access: yesRemote Sensing
A dual-wavelength spaceborne Martian polarized wind imaging Michelson interferometer based on liquid crystal tunable filters (LCTF-MPWIMI) has been proposed for the remote sensing detection of dynamic parameters such as wind speed and temperature in the ...

Water ice clouds in a martian global climate model using data assimilation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The water cycle is one of the key seasonal cycles on Mars, and the radiative effects of water ice clouds have recently been shown to alter the thermal structure of the atmosphere.
