Diurnal temperature variations and migrating thermal tides in the Martian lower atmosphere observed by the Emirates Mars InfraRed Spectrometer
Siteng Fan, François Forget, Michael D. Smith +12
The Martian atmosphere experiences large diurnal variations due to the ~24.6 h planetary rotation and its low heat capacity. Understanding such variations on a planetary scale is l…
Nonthermal hydrogen loss at Mars: Contributions of photochemical mechanisms to escape and identification of key processes
Bethan S. Gregory, Michael S. Chaffin, Rodney D. Elliott +3
Hydrogen loss to space is a key control on the evolution of the Martian atmosphere and the desiccation of the red planet. Thermal escape is thought to be the dominant loss process,…
Fully coupled photochemistry of the deuterated ionosphere of Mars and its effects on escape of H and D
Eryn M. Cangi, Michael S. Chaffin, Roger V. Yelle +2
Although deuterium (D) on Mars has received substantial attention, the deuterated ionosphere remains relatively unstudied. This means that we also know very little about non-therma…
Migrating Thermal Tides in the Martian Atmosphere during Aphelion Season Observed by EMM/EMIRS
Siteng Fan, François Forget, Michael D. Smith +11
Temperature profiles retrieved using the first set of data of the Emirates Mars InfraRed Spectrometer (EMIRS) obtained during the science phase of the Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) a…
Higher Martian atmospheric temperatures at all altitudes increase the D/H fractionation factor and water loss
Eryn M. Cangi, Michael S. Chaffin, Justin Deighan
Much of the water that once flowed on the surface of Mars was lost to space long ago, and the total amount lost remains unknown. Clues to the amount lost can be found by studying h…
Characterization of a Thick Ozone Layer in Mars' Past
Justin Deighan, Robert E Johnson
All three terrestrial planets with atmospheres support O3 layers of some thickness. While currently only that of Earth is substantial enough to be climatically significant, we hypo…
Thermally driven escape from Pluto's atmosphere: A combined fluid/kinetic model
O. J. Tucker, J. T. Erwin, J. I. Deighan +2
A combined fluid/kinetic model is developed to calculate thermally driven escape of N2 from Pluto's atmosphere for two solar heating conditions: no heating above 1450 km and solar…
