The burst of Mars exploration in the past two decades has significantly improved our
knowledge of the Martian atmosphere. A variety of complementary, multiannual …

Polar vortices that share many similarities are found in Earth's stratosphere and the
atmospheres of Mars and Saturn's moon Titan. These vortices all occur in the winter, and are …

Abstract Observations of the South Polar Residual Cap suggest a possible erosion of the
cap, leading to an increase of the global mass of the atmosphere. We test this assumption by …

The middle infrared (MIR) channel of the atmospheric chemistry suite (ACS) instrument
onboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter ESA‐Roscosmos mission has performed Solar …

Among the great diversity of atmospheric circulation patterns observed throughout the solar
system, polar vortices stand out as a nearly ubiquitous planetary‐scale phenomenon. In …

We present results from the Met Office Unified Model (UM), a world-leading climate and
weather model, adapted to simulate a dry Martian climate. We detail the adaptation of the …

Abstract The Mars Dust Activity Database (MDAD) v1. 1 is expanded to include all dust storm
instance boundaries in MDAD v1. 0 from the Mars Color Imager years (Mars Years 28–32) …

The martian polar atmosphere is characterised by the presence of polar vortices, regions of
cold and isolated air over the winter poles common to planetary atmospheres. The polar …

This review describes the dynamic phenomena in the atmosphere of Mars that are visible in
images taken in the visual range through cloud formation and dust lifting. We describe the …

The polar vortices of Mars are characterized by strong zonal winds that isolate cold air
above the pole, allowing CO2 to condense out of the atmosphere through snowfall and …
