1. The seasonal cycle of water vapour on Mars from assimilation of Thermal Emission Spectrometer data.

Author

Steele, Liam J., Lewis, Stephen R., Patel, Manish R., Montmessin, Franck, Forget, François, and Smith, Michael D.

Subjects
*ASTROMETEOROLOGY, *ATMOSPHERIC water vapor, *EMISSION spectroscopy, *DATA analysis, *CLIMATOLOGY, *MARTIAN atmosphere
Abstract

Highlights: [•] Water vapour is assimilated into a Mars GCM producing an improved analysis. [•] The analysis reproduces vapour column observations to within the retrieval RMS error. [•] The Hellas and Argyre basins act as regions of increased vapour transport. [•] Net water transport to the northern hemisphere is quantified. [•] Frost deposits around the north polar cap create the observed peak vapour abundances. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

2. First detection of Mars atmospheric hydroxyl: CRISM Near-IR measurement versus LMD GCM simulation of OH Meinel band emission in the Mars polar winter atmosphere.

Author

Todd Clancy, R., Sandor, Brad J., García-Muñoz, Antonio, Lefèvre, Franck, Smith, Michael D., Wolff, Michael J., Montmessin, Franck, Murchie, Scott L., and Nair, Hari

Subjects
*ATMOSPHERIC hydroxyl radicals, *SIMULATION methods & models, *HYDROXIDES, *ENERGY bands, *ATMOSPHERIC transport, *ATMOSPHERIC chemistry, *MARS (Planet)
Abstract

Highlights: [•] The key radical OH is detected for the first time in the Mars atmosphere. [•] The OH emission appears as near-infrared night glow in the polar winter atmosphere. [•] The OH Meinel band structure constrains formation and de-excitation pathways. [•] The observations support current models of Mars atmospheric transport and chemistry. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
