Wavelength dependence of dust aerosol single scattering albedo as observed by the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer (2009, background): “As a result, we refer the interested reader to these two articles, as well as to the more recent (but more general) review by Smith [2008] .”
Eight-year climatology of dust optical depth on Mars (2014, background): “See Smith (2008) for an extensive review of spacecraft instruments sensitive to dust prior to the Surface Stereo Imager (SSI) and the LIDAR aboard the Phoenix lander (Smith et al., 2008), and the Mastcam camera aboard the Mars Science Laboratory rover (Grotzinger et al., 2012).”
The Modern Near-Surface Martian Climate: A Review of In-situ Meteorological Data from Viking to Curiosity (2017, background): “On a global scale, the most vigorous dust activity and the resulting largest dust opacity values occur during southern spring and summer (Martin 1986; Smith 2004, 2008; Montabone et al. 2015), when regional dust storms persist throughout the southern hemisphere and the northern baroclinic zone.”
Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer observations of water vapor and carbon monoxide (2009, methodology): “[2] There has been a long history of observations of water vapor abundance using spacecraft at Mars because of the importance of the water cycle in understanding the Martian climate (see Smith [2008] for an overview of spacecraft observations of water vapor at Mars).”
Dust aerosol, clouds, and the atmospheric optical depth record over 5 Mars years of the Mars Exploration Rover mission (2014, background): “n autumnal equinox (L S=0°) that 22 began MY 27, during a time of moderate but declining optical depths [Lemmon et al., 2004] following a regional dust storm that was dissipating by the landing time [Smith, 2008]. The TES climatology [Smith, 2004] would suggest that optical depths would decline into”
