Orbital measurements showed that this dust storm reduced the average temperature of the surface and raised the temperature of the atmosphere of Mars by 30 K. [31] The low density of the Martian atmosphere means that winds of 18 to 22 m/s (65 to 79 km/h) are needed to lift dust from the surface, but since Mars is so dry, the dust can stay in the ...

Temperatures on Mars from REMS on the Curiosity Rover (August 16/17, 2012). Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) is a weather station on Mars for Curiosity rover contributed by Spain and Finland. [1] [2] REMS measures humidity, pressure, temperature, wind speeds, and ultraviolet radiation on Mars. [3]

The climate of Mars may have been such in the past that water ran on its surface. It has been known for some time that Mars undergoes many large changes in its tilt or obliquity because its two small moons lack the gravity to stabilize it, as the Moon stabilizes Earth; at times the tilt of Mars has even been greater than 80 degrees [ 48 ] [ 49 ]
Wind, temperature, pressure and magnetometer data is used to understand the local wind behavior at the landing site to help understand and interpret SEIS data. [6] At the same time, the lander uses its cameras to document cirrus clouds that develop high above Elysium Planitia , any instances of fog that appear along the ground, as well as dust ...
