Meteoric ion layers in the Martian atmosphere
Faraday Discussions, 2010Low-lying plasma layers have been observed sporadically in the Martian atmosphere by radio occultation measurements from spacecraft such as the Mars Express Orbiter and the Mars Global Surveyor. These layers are just a few km wide, and tend to occur around 90 km. It has been proposed that the layers consist of metallic ions, for two reasons: they occur

CO2 solubility in Martian basalts and Martian atmospheric evolution
Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2011Abstract To understand possible volcanogenic fluxes of CO 2 to the Martian atmosphere, we investigated experimentally carbonate solubility in a synthetic melt based on the Adirondack-class Humphrey basalt at 1–2.5 GPa and 1400–1625 °C. Starting materials included both oxidized and reduced compositions, allowing a test of the effect of iron oxidation

Spacecraft Observations of the Martian Atmosphere
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2008Recent spacecraft observations of the Martian atmosphere show that the current climate has a distinct and generally repeatable pattern of seasonal and spatial variations. The half of the year that Mars is closest to the Sun is characterized by warm, dusty conditions, whereas the opposite season is relatively cool, free of dust, and dominated by a low ...

A new look to the Martian atmosphere
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1974Although the Martian atmosphere is at present only about 1% as dense as the Earth’s atmosphere it has been revealed as a dramatically active environment by the observations made during 1971-72 by theMariner9 and SovietMars2 and 3 spacecrafts which arrived at the planet during a major global dust storm. Local dust storms were seen to change in intensity
