Identification of planetary wave patterns associated with ice seasonal sublimation/condensation dynamics in the polar regions of mars, based on IR mapping spectrometer OMEGA onboard Mars Express

Bibring, J. -P.; Fedorova, A. A.; Kuzmin, R. O. +3 more

Channel C of the orbital hyperspectrometer OMEGA onboard Mars Express spacecraft has delivered data on the distribution and seasonal variability of water ice spectral features at 1.25, 1.5, 2.0 µm, based on which one may conclude about the thickness of ice coverage and microstructure of the upper, optically active ice layer on the Martian su…
