The red planet continued to display sporadic dust activity this past week. Dust storms associated with the north polar hood were spotted over the northern landforms of Tempe, Deuteronilus, and Alba Patera. Further equatorward, the plains of Chryse and Amazonis … Continue reading →

Dust storm activity continued to be sparse across most of Mars this past week. A small number of dust-lifting events associated with the north polar hood were observed over northern Tempe and north of Alba Patera. Looking to the southern … Continue reading →

Dust-lifting activity was rather uneventful for the past week on Mars. A couple of tiny local-scale dust storms were observed near the remaining portion of the seasonal south polar ice cap edge. Looking to the northern hemisphere, dust and water-ice … Continue reading →

The weather patterns of Mars this past week did not deviate much from that of the previous weeks. Dust hazes over the high southern latitudes continued to waft near the remaining seasonal south polar ice cap. Focusing on the northern … Continue reading →

Martian dust-lifting activity continued to be uneventful this past week as spring and fall transitioned to southern hemisphere summer and northern hemisphere winter. Dust hazes persisted over the southern high latitudes for most of the week. The area known as … Continue reading →

Afternoon dust storm activity was sparse across most of Mars during the past week. Exceptions were a local-scale dust storm observed over northern Amazonis Planitia, as well as, a dust haze that continued over Aonia and latitudes south of 60°S … Continue reading →

Dust-lifting activity was fairly typical for this time of martian season. In the southern hemisphere, repeated dust activity over southern Aonia contributed to a cloud of dust further to the west. Dust hazes were also observed over the southern portions … Continue reading →

Martian weather this past week was little changed from the previous week. A larger diffuse dust cloud persisted at high south latitudes throughout the week. The cloud was sustained by daily, local dust storms coming north from the seasonal south … Continue reading →

For the past week on Mars, local-scale storm activity over Aonia and Sirenum led to murky conditions along the retreating seasonal south polar ice cap edge. Looking a bit further north, a couple short-lived isolated dust storms were spotted over … Continue reading →

Last week on Mars, dust-lifting activity over the northern hemisphere was relatively sporadic. Local-scale dust storms were observed over Amazonis and Deuteronilus. Looking to the southern hemisphere, repeated dust-lifting activity was spotted near the Mountains of Mitchel. This activity stretched … Continue reading →
