The Martian surface radiation environment – a comparison of models and MSL/RAD measurements [PDF]

open access: goldJournal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2016
Context: The Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) has been measuring the radiation environment on the surface of Mars since August 6th 2012. MSL-RAD is the first instrument to provide detailed information about charged

Martian sub-surface ionising radiation: biosignatures and geology [PDF]

open access: goldBiogeosciences, 2007
The surface of Mars, unshielded by thick atmosphere or global magnetic field, is exposed to high levels of cosmic radiation. This ionising radiation field is deleterious to the survival of dormant cells or spores and the persistence of molecular ...

Spatial Autocorrelation of Martian Surface Temperature and Its Spatio-Temporal Relationships with Near-Surface Environmental Factors across China’s Tianwen-1 Landing Zone [PDF]

open access: goldRemote Sensing, 2021
Variations in the Martian surface temperature indicate patterns of surface energy exchange. The Martian surface temperature at a location is similar to those in adjacent locations; but, an understanding of temperature clusters in multiple locations will ...

Martian Surface Coordinates [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research, 1973
This paper presents methods and results for primary and secondary triangulation of the Martian surface. The primary network is based on multiphotograph stereophotogrammetry in which the pictures are rotated around fixed centers; these centers are provided as spacecraft stations from the tracking data.

MarsSI: Martian surface data processing service

open access: gold, 2022
MarsSI (“Mars Système d’Information”, french for Mars Information System) is a platform and service to catalog, process and retrieve data from orbiters. https://marssi.univ-lyon1.fr/MarsSI. 1. Introduction Geological investigations of planetary surfaces require the combination of orbital datasets.

Surface Waves along the Martian Ionopause

open access: diamondActa Physica Polonica A, 2013
We study the behaviour of surface waves propagating along the ionopause of the planet Mars and derive the onset criteria for unstable Kelvin Helmholtz modes and negative energy waves at the Martian ionopause. Growth rate of unstable Kelvin Helmholtz mode decreases with wavelength.

What Is the Radiation Impact of Extreme Solar Energetic Particle Events on Mars?

open access: yesSpace Weather, 2023
Solar Energetic Particles (SEP) are one of the major sources of the Martian radiation environment. It is important to understand the SEP‐induced Martian radiation environment for future human habitats on Mars.

Thermospheric density responses to Martian dust storm in autumn based on MAVEN data

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2022
The unique seasonal surface dust storms on Mars have a significant impact on the Martian atmosphere. However, due to the lack of observations, semi-empirical models are difficult to simulate the density changes in the thermosphere with the existence of ...
