Further observations of regional dust storms and baroclinic eddies in the northern hemisphere of Mars
Please cite this article in press as: Hinson, D.P., W Mars. Icarus (2009), doi:10.1016/j.icarus.2009.0 We have investigated the near-surface meteorology in the northern hemisphere of Mars through detailed analysis of data obtained with Mars Global Surveyor in January–August 2005. The season in the northern hemisphere ranged from midsummer through winter solstice of Mars Year (MY) 27. We examine...
متن کاملAssimilation of Thermal Emission Spectrometer atmospheric data during the Mars Global Surveyor aerobraking period
The Thermal Emission Spectrometer aboard the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft has produced an extensive atmospheric data set, beginning during aerobraking and continuing throughout the extended scientific mapping phase. Temperature profiles for the atmosphere below about 40 km, surface temperatures and total dust and water ice opacities, can be retrieved from infrared spectra in nadir viewing mo...
متن کاملThermal Tides in an Assimilation of Three Years of Thermal Emissionspectromenter Data from Mars Global Surveyor
Introduction. Thermal tides are particularly prominent in the Mars atmosphere with the result that temperature and wind fields have a strong dependence on local solar time (LT). Tides include westward propagating migrating (sun-synchronous) waves driven in response to solar heating and additional nonmigrating waves resulting from zonal variations in the thermotidal forcing. Zonal modulation of ...
