Atmospheric dynamics of IR-active particles released from Mars' surface
Mark I. Richardson, Samaneh Ansari, Bowen Fan +7
Surface release of radiatively active particles, with high infrared- (IR-)to-visible extinction ratios, has been proposed as a method of warming Mars. However, to warm Mars using a…
