Alternate oscillations of Martian hydrogen and oxygen upper atmospheres during a major dust storm
Nature Communications, 2022 Dust storms on Mars drive water escape to space. Here, the authors show the impact Martian dust storms have on the abundance of atmospheric hydrogen and oxygen, and how this helps to overall oxidize the Martian atmosphere.

Diurnal Variations of Water Ice in the Martian Atmosphere Observed by Mars Climate Sounder
Remote Sensing, 2022 Simulation studies have proposed a significant thermal effect of water ice clouds on the Martian atmosphere and climate. However, previous studies focused more on seasonal variations but less on short-term changes.

Mie scattering and the Martian atmosphere [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1971 It has been suggested that the discrepancy between radio occultation determinations of the Martian atmospheric surface pressure (3.8 to 7 mb) and those deduced from optical polarization measurements and a simple Rayleigh atmosphere model (about 10 mb) are the results of sub-micron sized aerosols in the Martian atmosphere.

Outgassing History and Escape of the Martian Atmosphere and Water Inventory [PDF]
, 2015 The evolution and escape of the martian atmosphere and the planet’s water inventory can be separated into an early and late evolutionary epoch. The first epoch started from the planet’s origin and lasted ∼500 Myr.
