“…Differences in solar insolation between the perihelion and aphelion seasons produce on average higher temperatures during the perihelion season, enhancing the injection of dust into the atmosphere via wind stress and dust devils (Haberle et al 1982;Newman et al 2002aNewman et al , 2002bKahre et al 2006;Greeley et al 2010). Satellite measurements of atmospheric opacity show similar aphelion-versus-perihelion behavior on a planet-wide scale (Smith 2004;Cantor et al 2001;Montabone et al 2015).…”

“…On a global scale, the most vigorous dust activity and the resulting largest dust opacity values occur during southern spring and summer (Martin 1986;Smith 2004Smith , 2008Montabone et al 2015), when regional dust storms persist throughout the southern hemisphere and the northern baroclinic zone. Smaller regional dust events also persist throughout the northern spring and summer, but they are less efficient at increasing the overall atmospheric dust opacity than the southern spring and summer events (Cantor et al 2001). The southern hemisphere surface is on average around 5 km higher than the northern hemisphere surface (e.g., (Fig.…”

“…[2] Mars is known to have intense dust storms on spatial scales ranging from large planetary events [Gierasch, 1974;Cantor et al, 2001] to small dust devils [Thomas and Gierasch, 1985]. At Earth it is well established that windblown sand and dust can generate electric fields with strengths greater than 100 kV/m [Schmidt et al, 1998].…”

“…Marte presenta muchos de los fenómenos meteorológicos que se producen en la Tierra como la circulación atmosférica meridional , estaciones asociadas a la oblicuidad planetaria, perturbaciones baroclínicas y frentes en superficie (Tyler y Barnes, 2005), nubes de condensación de vapor de agua y dióxido de carbono (Michaels et al, 2006), circulaciones diurnas catabáticas y anabáticas (Rafkin et al, 2002;Spiga 2011b), tormentas de polvo (Cantor et al, 2001) y remolinos de polvo conocidos como dust devils (Fisher et al 2005). Sin embargo las diferencias con la Tierra, como la menor irradiación solar, la baja densidad atmosférica, la compleja topografía y la alta variabilidad en la cantidad de aerosoles (compuestos principalmente por polvo radiativamente activo), deben tenerse en cuenta a la hora de modelar numéricamente la atmósfera de Marte.…”
