Spring warming in certain areas leads to CO 2 ice subliming and flowing upwards, creating highly unusual erosion patterns called "spider gullies". [104] Translucent CO 2 ice forms over winter and as the spring sunlight warms the surface, it vaporizes the CO 2 to gas which flows uphill under the translucent CO 2 ice.
During the winter season on Mars, temperatures at the planet’s polar caps can reach below CO 2 ’s condensation temperature (150 K). Noted as orbit #10075 by Dr. Ivanov and Dr. Muheleman of the Mars Global Surveyor, data from the MOLA instrument recorded cloud returns at the planet’s south polar cap during the southern winter season.

1995 photo of Mars showing approximate size of the polar caps. The planet Mars has two permanent polar ice caps of water ice and some dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide, CO 2).Above kilometer-thick layers of water ice permafrost, slabs of dry ice are deposited during a pole's winter, [1] [2] lying in continuous darkness, causing 25–30% of the atmosphere being deposited annually at either of the ...
To explain the coexistence of liquid water and faint young Sun during early Mars' history, a much stronger greenhouse effect must have occurred in the Martian atmosphere to warm the surface up above freezing point of water. Carl Sagan first proposed that a 1 bar H 2 atmosphere can produce enough warming for Mars. [45]
The U.S. space agency's Artemis program aims to put astronauts in the coming years on the lunar surface for the first time since 1972 in preparation for potential future human missions to Mars.
A first attempt at a Mars general circulation model was created by Leovy and Mintz who used an Earth model and adapted it to Martian conditions. This preliminary model had the capability to predict atmospheric condensation of carbon dioxide and the presence of transient baroclinic waves in the winter mod-latitudes. [4]
