Global Distribution and Seasonality of Martian Atmospheric HCl Explained Through Heterogeneous Chemistry

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 6, 28 March 2025.
Abstract Recent observations from the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) have revealed the presence of hydrogen chloride (HCl) in the martian atmosphere. HCl shows strong seasonality, primarily appearing during Mars' perihelion period before decreasing faster than projected from photolysis and gas‐phase chemistry.

Atmospheric Distribution and Escape of Odd Nitrogen on Mars

The Astronomical Journal
The total nitrogen budget in the Martian upper atmosphere is significantly contributed by the presence of odd nitrogen, mainly in the form of NO and ground-state or excited-state N.

The ISSI international study team on the martian PBL – status report and plan [PDF]

, 2008
Dynamical processes in the Martian boundary layer provide the means of communication between surface ice deposits and the free atmosphere, and the means of lifting dust from the surface.

Propagation and Periodicity of Mars's Northern Annular Mode Modulates the Dust Cycle

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 6, 28 March 2025.
Abstract We document the propagation of annular modes—zonally symmetric patterns of variability—in Mars's atmosphere using a reanalysis dataset. Mars's Northern Annular Mode (MNAM) sees anomalies of zonal‐mean zonal wind emerge near the subtropics and migrate poleward with a period of ∼ ${\sim} $150 days, similarly to Earth's Southern Annular Mode.

Constraints on the Size and Composition of the Ancient Martian Atmosphere from Coupled CO2-N2-Ar Isotopic Evolution Models [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Present-day Mars is cold and dry, but mineralogical and morphological evidence shows that liquid-water existed on the surface of ancient Mars. In order to explain this evidence and assess ancient Mars's habitability, one must understand the size and composition of the ancient atmosphere.
