Homogeneous Nucleation of Water Vapor Evidenced by Elongated Clouds on Mars

J. Hernandez-Bernal, A. Maattanen, A. Spiga +1

It is widely accepted that water vapor forms clouds by heterogeneous nucleation (condensation on pre-existing dry nuclei). Homogeneous nucleation (directly from water vapor, withou…

Martian atmospheric disturbances from orbital images and surface pressure at Jezero Crater, Mars, during Martian Year 36

A. Sánchez-Lavega, E. Larsen, T. del Río-Gaztelurrrutia +13

We present a study of atmospheric disturbances at Jezero Crater, Mars, using ground-based measurements of surface pressure by the Perseverance rover in combination with orbital ima…

High-Order harmonics of Thermal Tides observed in the atmosphere of Mars by the Pressure Sensor on the Insight lander

J. Hernandez-Bernal, A. Spiga, F. Forget +1

Thermal tides are atmospheric planetary-scale waves with periods that are harmonics of the solar day. In the Martian atmosphere thermal tides are known to be especially significant…

A long term study of Mars mesospheric clouds seen at twilight based on Mars Express VMC images

J. Hernandez-Bernal, A. Sanchez-Lavega, T. del Rio-Gaztelurrutia +5

We present the first systematic study of clouds observed during twilight on Mars. We analyze images obtained by the Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC) on Mars Express between 2007 and…

An Extremely Elongated Cloud over Arsia Mons Volcano on Mars: I. Life Cycle

J. Hernández-Bernal, A. Sánchez-Lavega, T. del Río-Gaztelurrutia +12

We report a previously unnoticed annually repeating phenomenon consisting of the daily formation of an extremely elongated cloud extending as far as 1800 km westward from Arsia Mon…

The 2018 Martian Global Dust Storm over the South Polar Region studied with MEx/VMC

J. Hernández-Bernal, A. Sánchez-Lavega, T. del Río-Gaztelurrutia +6

We study the 2018 Martian Global DustStorm (GDS 2018) over the Southern Polar Region using images obtained by the Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC) on board Mars Express during June a…
