Partially-Saturated Brines Within Basal Ice or Sediments can Explain the Bright Basal Reflections in the South Polar Layered Deposits

Abstract: The Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding (MARSIS) instrument on Mars Express has detected strong subsurface radar reflections in the region of Ultimi Scopuli (81°S, 193°E), within the South Polar Layered Deposits (SPLD) (Lauro et al., 2021;Orosei et al., 2018). These subsurface reflections are ∼10 dB greater in power than the surrounding reflections and ∼3 dB greater than the reflections from the surface (Orosei et al., 2018). The reflectors are located at the base of the SPLD, approxima… Show more
