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.
