Influence of gravity waves on the climatology of high-altitude Martian carbon dioxide ice clouds [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2018
Carbon dioxide (CO2) ice clouds have been routinely observed in the middle atmosphere of Mars. However, there are still uncertainties concerning physical mechanisms that control their altitude, geographical, and seasonal distributions.

Martian Proton Aurora Brightening Reveals Atmospheric Ion Loss Intensifying

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
The Martian proton aurora is a distinct aurora phenomenon resulting from the direct deposition of solar wind energy into Mars' dayside atmosphere. What solar wind parameters influence the aurora activity in the short term is yet unknown, as are the ...

Earth – Mars Similarity Criteria for Martian Vehicles [PDF]

open access: yesINCAS Bulletin, 2010
In order to select the most efficient kind of a martian exploring vehicle, the similarity criteria are deduced from the equilibrium movement in the terrestrial and martian conditions.

The dust storm and its interaction with atmospheric waves on Mars

open access: yes地球与行星物理论评, 2021
Mars shares many similarities with Earth. The comparative study of the climate between the two planets is of great significance to understand the evolution of the Earth's atmosphere.

Characterization of dust activity on Mars from MY27 to MY32 by PFS-MEX observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We present spatial and temporal distributions of dust on Mars from Ls = 331 in MY26 until Ls = 80 in MY33 retrieved from the measurements taken by the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer (PFS) aboard Mars Express.

Cloud trains associated with Martian Mountain Lee Waves on the eastern side of the Phlegra Montes

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2023
Mountain lee waves have often been observed on the eastern side of the Phlegra Montes as wave trains visualized by water ice clouds in the Martian atmosphere. The seasonality and formation condition of these lee waves and associated cloud trains have not

Distribution of Dune Landform on Mars

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Dune landforms are widely distributed on Mars and contain abundant information about the Martian atmosphere and sedimentary environment. At present, the understanding of Martian dunes and their environmental significance still needs to be further ...

In situ observations of ions and magnetic field around Phobos: the mass spectrum analyzer (MSA) for the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2021
The mass spectrum analyzer (MSA) will perform in situ observations of ions and magnetic fields around Phobos as part of the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission to investigate the origin of the Martian moons and physical processes in the Martian ...

Martian Equatorial Atmospheric Tides From Surface Observations

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2023
AbstractDiurnal solar radiation causes global oscillations in pressure, temperature, and wind fields, known as atmospheric tides, which are further modified by topography, surface properties, and atmospheric dust loading. Hence, the tides are a combination of sun‐synchronous and non sun‐synchronous tides that propagate around the planet both eastward ...
