MARCI weather report, April 8-14, 2019
Weather patterns were fairly typical across Mars this past week. Looking to the northern hemisphere, a couple of dust storms dipped southward towards southern Acidalia. Neighboring these events, a local-scale storm occurred over Tempe Terra near the beginning of the … Continue reading

MARCI weather report, April 1-7, 2019
There was a slight uptick in dust storm activity across the southern highlands of Mars this past week. Repeated dust storms were spotted from southern Aonia to Cimmeria on several afternoons. Scanning further northward to the tropics, orographic water ice … Continue reading

MARCI weather report, March 25-31, 2019
For the past week on Mars, transient dust storms and water ice clouds continued to develop along the seasonal north polar ice cap edge. Just a bit further south, a couple fleeting dust storms were spotted extending southward across Acidalia … Continue reading

MARCI weather report, March 18-24, 2019
Northern hemisphere spring arrived along with southern hemisphere autumn this past week on Mars. Southern Aonia experienced dusty conditions as repeated dust-lifting activity continued in the 60° south latitude band. Moving our attention towards the low-latitudes, a stronger presence of … Continue reading

MARCI weather report, March 11-17, 2019
Last week on Mars, dust-lifting events continued over southern Aonia and Sirenum. The eastward movement of these storms lofted dust into the Argyre impact basin on multiple sols. The Hellas impact basin, on the other hand, was largely unobscured from … Continue reading
