Water and Brines on Mars: Current Evidence and Implications for MSL (2013, background): “This condition is met temporarily over about 29 % of the surface of Mars (Haberle et al. 2001).”
Possible physical and thermodynamical evidence for liquid water at the Phoenix landing site (2009, background): “Since it has been shown that even eutectic solutions of single salts with modest freezing point depression such as NaCl (DTEut 20 K) can sporadically be liquid on Mars [Haberle et al., 2001], liquid”
Formation of Martian Gullies by the Action of Liquid Water Flowing Under Current Martian Environmental Conditions (2005, background): “vapor pressure of water and surface temperatures in equatorial regions can reach 273 K for parts of the day [Haberle et al., 2001].”
Metastability of liquid water on Mars (2001, background): “Haberle et al. (2001) suggest that such a calculation may overstate the actual evaporation rate by as much as a factor of 4. liquid water is out of equilibrium with the atmosphere.”
Tropical mountain glaciers on Mars: Altitude-dependence of ice accumulation, accumulation conditions, formation times, glacier dynamics, and implications for planetary spin-axis/orbital history (2007, background): “…forget@lmd.jussieu.fr (F. Forget). climate history for the last ∼20 million years (Laskar et al., 2004), and (2) improved atmospheric general circulation models (GCM) (Haberle et al., 2001; Levrard et al., 2004) have permitted a more detailed understanding of the recent climate history of Mars.”
The Modern Near-Surface Martian Climate: A Review of In-situ Meteorological Data from Viking to Curiosity (2017, background): “…al. 2008), is important because they can melt this ice at Mars’ present-day environmental conditions and produce liquid saline water (brine) (Clark 1978; Brass 1980; Clark and Van Hart 1981; Haberle et al. 2001; Chevrier and Altheide 2008; Rennó et al. 2009; McEwen et al. 2011; Ojha et al. 2015).”
Subsurface water and clay mineral formation during the early history of Mars (2011, background): “At present, the average atmospheric pressure on Mars is 7 mbar, the average temperature is 218 K, and ice typically sublimates to the water-undersaturated atmosphere without passing through the liquid phas”
