Crism Observations of Water Vapor and Carbon Monoxide

Introduction: Near-infrared spectra returned by the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM, [1]) on-board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) contain the clear spectral signature of several atmospheric gases including carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O), and carbon monoxide (CO). Here we describe the seasonal and spatial mapping of water vapor and carbon dioxide for o...

Sublimation Kinetics of Co2 Ice and Evolution of the Martian Polar

Introduction: The south martian polar cap is predominately composed of CO2 ice [1,2]. Early modeling of the polar caps suggested that they were in equilibrium with the ~6 mbar CO2 atmosphere [2], and various observations have shown a cyclicity of growth and retreat, following martian seasons [3]. Other studies show that CO2 ice is only a thin veneer on the surface of a probably much thicker ice...

Retreat of the North Seasonal Cap of Mars Observed by Omega and Crism

Introduction: Seasonal caps play an important role for surface-atmosphere interactions on Mars, as they trap up to 25% of the atmosphere during winter. While seasonal caps are mainly constituted of CO2 ice, H2O ice and dust play an important role in their evolution. Spectral imaging observations in the near infrared provide unambiguous information on the composition of the seasonal caps as CO2 ...

Identifying Surface Changes on Hrsc Images of the Mars South Polar Residual Cap (sprc)

The surface of Mars has been an object of interest for planetary research since the launch of Mariner 4 in 1964. Since then different cameras such as the Viking Visual Imaging Subsystem (VIS), Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC), and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Context Camera (CTX) and High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) have been imaging its surface at ev...

Assimilation of Mars Global Surveyor atmospheric temperature data into a general circulation model

We examined the observed temperature data from Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) between heliocentric longitude L• = 141 ø and 146 ø (•10 Martian days in northern summer) during the mapping phase, then compared them with the simulated results using the NASA/Ames Mars general circulation model. Both show a strong polar vortex at the winter pole, higher equatorial temperatures near the ground a...
