Effects of Martian Dust Storms on Ionospheric Peak Altitudes
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 ...

Assimilating the Martian water cycle [PDF]
Water ice clouds have been shown to alter the thermal structure of the Martian atmosphere. Here we discuss the assimilation of total column water vapour and dust optical depth data from the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) into the UK/LMD MGCM, and ...

Scattering matrices and expansion coefficients of Martian analogue palagonite particles
We present measurements of ratios of elements of the scattering matrix of Martian analogue palagonite particles for scattering angles ranging from 3 to 174 degrees and a wavelength of 632.8 nm.

The long winter model of Martian biology: A speculation [PDF]
An estimated mean thickness of about 1 km of frost in the Martian north polar cap summer remnant, if vaporized, would yield about 1000 g/sq cm of atmosphere over the planet, higher global temperatures through the greenhouse effect, and a greatly ...
