Simulation of the Martian dust cycle with the GFDL Mars GCM (2004, methodology): “The Newman et al. [2002b] simulations generated storms similar to the 1999 ''flushing storm'' event observed by MGS [Cantor et al., 2001; Smith et al., 2001; Liu et al., 2003], likely due to the mechanism described by Wang et al. [2003].”
Selection of the Mars Science Laboratory Landing Site (2012, background): “5.2 Image Data Images of Mars used in previous site selection efforts include a wide variety of data from multiple spacecraft: (1) Mariner 9 images (many hundreds of meters per pixel); (2) Viking Orbiter images (tens of meters to hundreds of meters per pixel; global mosaic at 230 m/pixel); (3) MGS/M”
Dust aerosol, clouds, and the atmospheric optical depth record over 5 Mars years of the Mars Exploration Rover mission (2014, background): “ikely due to renewed dust lifting in the Acidalia crossequatorial storm track. As observed from orbiters, the period from L S=315-360° typically produces a final wave of cross-equatorial dust storms [Cantor et al., 2001;Wang et al., 2002, 2007; Cantor, 2007], resulting in elevated dust optical depth”
Recent formation and evolution of northern Martian polar layered deposits as inferred from a Global Climate Model (2007, background): “This effect is reinforced when the perihelion coincides with the summer solstice, leading to a strong heating at subsolar point and favorable large-scale meridional circulation [e.g., Cantor et al., 2001 ].”
Dust devils on Earth and Mars (2006, background): “Nevertheless, fine dust is somehow being injected into the atmosphere to support the observed haze and to supply local [ Cantor et al., 2001 ] and global (reviewed by Kahn et al. [1992] and Zurek et al. [1992]) dust storms.”
Mars aerosol studies with the MGS TES emission phase function observations: Optical depths, particle sizes, and ice cloud types versus latitude and solar longitude (2003, methodology): “…aerosol optical depths have been derived from Mariner 9 [Pang and Hord, 1973], Viking [Thorpe, 1979, 1981], and Mars Global Surveyor [Cantor et al., 2001; Ivanov and Muhleman, 1998] nadir brightness measurements, but are generally inaccurate for dust aerosols and indiscriminate for…”
Interannual variability in TES atmospheric observations of Mars during 1999–2003 (2004, methodology): “Data returned from Mariner 9, Viking, and MGS (including analysis of data from the Mars Orbiter Camera ( Cantor et al., 2001, 2002 ) and the Radio Science (Hinson et al., 1999; Tyler et al., 2001) experiments) have made a significant contribution to our understanding of the present Martian climate.”
Context Camera Investigation on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (2007, background): “Contemporary Activity [25] Mars Global Surveyor MOC experience has demonstrated, over a period spanning more than 4 Mars years, that dust is raised somewhere on Mars nearly every day [Cantor et al., 2001; Cantor, 2003].”
The physics of wind-blown sand and dust (2012, background): “Moreover, dust devils and dust storms are common on Mars (Thomas and Gierasch 1985, Cantor et al 2001) and saltation is a likely mechanism of raising dust in these phenomena (Greeley 2002, Kok 2010b), although other plausible dust emission mechanism have recently been suggested (Merrison et al…”
THE MARTIAN ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY LAYER (2011, background): “[82] Imaging instruments can be used to observe clouds, dust devils, and storms [e.g., Cantor et al., 2001, 2002; Drake et al., 2006], and other visible phenomena in the PBL that are the outcomes of atmospheric circulations, which are in turn often affected by the surface properties.”
Eight-year climatology of dust optical depth on Mars (2014, methodology): “itude band, as it is discussed in Section 5 and shown in Fig. A.16. | Figure A.13 | 4.3. Validation of dust storm evolution using camera images We have used MOC and MARCI processed Daily Global Maps (Cantor et al., 2001) to qualitatively compare in visible images the evolution of the two selected re”
