Martian clouds observed by Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera
[1] We have made daily global maps that cover both polar and equatorial regions of Mars for Ls 135 –360 and 0 –111 using the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) red and blue wide-angle swaths taken from May 1999 to January 2001. We study the seasonal distribution of condensate clouds and dust clouds during roughly 1 Martian year using these daily global maps. We present the dev...
متن کاملMars Global Surveyor Measurements of the Martian Solar Wind Interaction
The solar wind at Mars interacts with the extended atmosphere and small-scale crustal magnetic fields. This interaction shares elements with a variety of solar system bodies, and has direct bearing on studies of the long-term evolution of the Martian atmosphere, the structure of the upper atmosphere, and fundamental plasma processes. The magnetometer (MAG) and electron reflectometer (ER) on Mar...
متن کاملHigh-resolution local magnetic field models for the Martian South Pole from Mars Global Surveyor data
We present two high-resolution local models for the crustal magnetic field of the Martian south polar region. Models SP130 and SP130M were derived from three-component measurements made by Mars Global Surveyor at nighttime and at low altitude (<200 km). The availability area for these data covers the annulus between latitudes −76∘ and −87∘ and contains a strongly magnetized region (southern par...
متن کاملWater Distribution in Martian Permafrost Regions from Joint Analysis of HEND (Mars Odyssey) and MOLA (Mars Global Surveyor) Data
We jointly analyze data from the High-Energy Neutron Detector (HEND) onboard the NASA Mars Odyssey spacecraft and data from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) onboard the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft. The former instrument measures the content of hydrogen (in the form of Н2О or OH) in the subsurface layer of soil and the latter instrument measures the surface albedo with respect to the ...
متن کاملGeomorphic Evidence for Martian Ground Ice and Climate Change
Introduction: Recent results from gamma-ray and neutron spectrometers on Mars Odyssey indicate the presence of a hydrogen-rich layer tens of centimeters thick in the uppermost meter in high latitudes (>60 ̊) on Mars [1]. This hydrogen-rich layer correlates to regions of ice stability [2]. Thus, the subsurface hydrogen is thought to be water ice constituting 35+/15% by weight near the north and s...
