MARCI weather report, August 26-27, 2019
Weather patterns were fairly typical last week for this time of Mars year. In the north, local-scale dust storms were spotted along seasonal north polar cap edge. Diffuse water-ice clouds associated with the aphelion cloud-belt continued to be more dominant … Continue reading

MARCI weather report, August 12-18, 2019
Afternoon weather conditions were very seasonal this past week. Local dust storms were observed along the seasonal receding north polar cap edge (north of Acidalia) and at southern low-latitudes (Margaritifer and Solis) and mid-latitudes (from Aonia to Cimmeria). Condensate clouds … Continue reading
