A discussion of Martian atmospheric dynamics
Planetary and Space Science, 1967Abstract We have computed radiative relaxation times for temperature perturbations in CO 2 with small admixtures of water vapor under conditions which are similar to those occurring in the martian atmosphere. Certain aspects of the influence of radiative transfer on dynamical phenomena in the martian atmosphere are discussed in terms of these ...

The Martian Atmosphere as a Meteoroid Detector
Icarus, 1996Abstract We investigate the plausibility of detecting meteors from the surface of Mars. We estimate the flux of high-speed photographic meteoroids at the orbit of Mars to be ∼50% that at Earth. Because the atmospheric densities of the Earth and Mars are comparable at a height of 120 km, close to where meteor ablation occurs on Earth, we also expect ...

Is there a Martian atmospheric electric circuit?
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2001Laboratory, analytical, and simulation studies suggest that Martian dust clouds can become significantly charged via dust/dust contact electrification. If moderate‐size dust clouds on Mars are like their terrestrial counterparts, they are expected to have the capacity to create electric fields in excess of 1 kV/m.

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

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 ...

Probing the Martian Atmosphere in the Ultraviolet
Optical Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere, 1993Several fundamental differences in atmospheric chemistry exist between Mars and the Earth. The martian atmosphere is primarily CO2 (95%), with strong vertical mixing, cold temperatures (typically 220K), low pressures (6 mb at the surface), high atmospheric dust and cloud particle content, and no man-made atmospheric constituents.
