Evidence of Water Vapor in Excess of Saturation in the Atmosphere of Mars

Forget, F.; Maltagliati, L.; Montmessin, F. +3 more

The vertical distribution of water vapor is key to the study of Mars’ hydrological cycle. To date, it has been explored mainly through global climate models because of a lack of direct measurements. However, these models assume the absence of supersaturation in the atmosphere of Mars. Here, we report observations made using the SPICAM (Spectroscop…
