Global evolution of electric fields during planet encircling dust storms on Mars
Ina Taxis, Leonardos Gkouvelis, Richard A. Urata +2
Planet-encircling dust storms fundamentally reshape Martian weather and the near-surface electrostatic environment. We investigate the generation and evolution of electric fields d…
Obliquity dependence of the formation of the martian polar layered deposits
Jeremy A. Emmett, James R. Murphy, Melinda A. Kahre
Mars' polar layered deposits (PLD) are comprised of layers of varying dust-to-water ice volume mixing ratios (VMR) that may record astronomically-forced climatic variation over Mar…
Measuring Mars Atmospheric Winds From Orbit
Scott Guzewich J. B. Abshire. M. M. Baker, J. M. Battalio, T. Bertrand +38
Wind is the process that connects Mars' climate system. Measurements of Mars atmospheric winds from orbit would dramatically advance our understanding of Mars and help prepare for…
Simulation of the 2018 Global Dust Storm on Mars Using the NASA Ames Mars GCM: A Multi-Tracer Approach
Tanguy Bertrand, R. John Wilson, Melinda A. Kahre +2
Global dust storms are the most thermodynamically significant dust events on Mars. They are produced from the combination of multiple local and regional lifting events and maintain…
Seasonal melting and the formation of sedimentary rocks on Mars, with predictions for the Gale Crater mound
Edwin S. Kite, Itay Halevy, Melinda A. Kahre +2
A model for the formation and distribution of sedimentary rocks on Mars is proposed. The rate-limiting step is supply of liquid water from seasonal melting of snow or ice. The mode…
