  2. Atmosphere of Mars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Mars

    The surface pressure measured by Mars rovers showed clear signals of thermal tides, although the variation also depends on the shape of the planet's surface and the amount of suspended dust in the atmosphere. [169] The atmospheric waves can also travel vertically and affect the temperature and water-ice content in the middle atmosphere of Mars ...

  3. Rover Environmental Monitoring Station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover_Environmental...

    The pressure sensor can detect pressures from 1 to 1150 Pa (0.000145038 PSI to 0.1667934 PSI). [11] For comparison, 1 atmosphere is 101,325 Pascals or 14.7 PSI. [12] The air temperature, wind speed and direction sensor for InSight Mars lander (planned for 2018 launch) is based on REMS, also contributed by Spain. [13]

    Compared to Earth, the atmosphere of Mars is quite rarefied. Atmospheric pressure on the surface today ranges from a low of 30 Pa (0.0044 psi) on Olympus Mons to over 1,155 Pa (0.1675 psi) in Hellas Planitia, with a mean pressure at the surface level of 600 Pa (0.087 psi). [116]

  5. Mars general circulation model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_General_Circulation_Model

    The Mars general circulation model has been a tool used by researchers to better understand the planet. The model includes various Martian cycles including active carbon dioxide, pressure, dust, and water cycles. These elements combined provide insight into the planet's atmospheric chemistry. [7]

  6. Areography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Areography

    The datum for Mars was defined initially in terms of a constant atmospheric pressure. From the Mariner 9 mission up until 2001, this was chosen as 610.5 Pa (6.105 mbar), on the basis that below this pressure liquid water can never be stable (i.e., the triple point of water is at this pressure). This value is only 0.6% of the pressure at sea ...

    There are numerous challenges to human settlements on Mars: lack of breathable oxygen, harmful ultraviolet radiation due to its thin atmosphere, salty soil hostile to growing crops, dust storms ...

  8. Mars habitability analogue environments on Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_habitability_analogue...

    On Earth, although temperatures on Earth briefly get cold enough for dry ice to form in the Antarctic interior at high altitudes, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere is too low for dry ice to form because the depositional temperature for dry ice on Earth under 1 bar of pressure is −140 °C (−220 °F) [13] and the ...

  9. Bar (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_(unit)

    Atmospheric air pressure where standard atmospheric pressure is defined as 1013.25 mbar, 101.325 kPa, 1.01325 bar, which is about 14.7 pounds per square inch. Despite the millibar not being an SI unit, meteorologists and weather reporters worldwide have long measured air pressure in millibar as the values are convenient.
